I have been on a weight loss journey since november 2025 (SW:202lbs). My GW is somewhere around 125-130lbs and my CW is 178lbs.
The couple first months have been very hard and I didn’t count my calories just tried to eat « healthier » (more veggies, more lean proteins).
Recently (since mid-february) I’ve been on bupropion to stop smoking and well, the effect it has on me is making all my hunger cues disappear. Mind you I have never been thin in my life, never had a good relationship with food or my body since I can remember anything and i’m currently learning all of this. Thing is, I’ve started logging my calories this week to track better my weightloss and my datas, and to my surprise, I mostly don’t eat enough to get to my calorie deficit daily intake. Like according to most websites, my daily intake should be around 1400 calories but i struggle eating more than a 1000 sometimes 1100. Only way to make it go higher (1350) is eat junk food.
I’m reading everywhere that a significant deficit (800 calories in my case) is not good at all for your body and will eventually (it might already have tbh) slow my metabolism down. However, as I said, I’m not hungry and this has NEVER happened to me in my whole life so i’m not INCLINED to eat more.
Wonder if any of you have had a similar experience where for any reason your hunger cues drastically diminished and don’t really know what to do with it? and if you have any advices to keep a healthy and sustainable calorie deficit?
