This is normal and understandable, also explainable, you may feel like you don’t have the motivation or energy to eat when you’re depressed. Also, stress can play a role in reducing your appetite. “Food isn’t as appealing when you’re anxious, worried, or feel hopeless,”
when you are sad, your brain tells your body that it is in physical pain. Studies reveal that women lose an average of five pounds in the first month of a breakup – three pounds if they instigated it. Briggs explains that this is often the result of a surge in cortisol and adrenaline. The pupils dilate and the body literally enters fight of flight mode – seeing food intake as a secondary concern. The parts of the brain that take charge of emotional and physical pain sit closely together with the parts that dictate how we eat our food and its taste. As a result, this can lead us to believe that we no longer like the taste of even our favourite foods.
