Anyone else wish we could just transport food to our stomach

Post Reply New Topic

So my mum pointed out to me recently that I don't really chew my food and so I've been making a conscious effort to do so which dramatically has changed how I am with food. I barely have an appetite anymore and find I very quickly can become so full I feel nauseous. I think I was eating WAY more than I needed to in the past and also not helping my body digest things and absorb nutrients properly, which might explain why I suddenly only feel hungry 2-3 times a day. I'm still not perfect at it and struggle to figure out when I should stop before I get sick as that has basically been how I knew to stop eating for my whole life.

I'm finding I also like food a lot less and wish I could just transport food into my stomach. Yes it is tasty but it feels like a chore and I don't get the same kind of euphoric feeling from food anymore. Does anyone else relate? This is a new thing for me as someone who struggles with binge eating and used to constantly over eat. This may be temporary, who knows.

Sounds like a GOOD thing. That you dont get a drug like effect from eating like you did before. And that you do NOT get hungry as often is also a good thing. Sounds like you're better off both nutritionally and psychologically. And dont go on eating binges. Its like you're kicking an addiction. A good thing.

I also tend to wolf food down too fast, and then put myself into a "food coma" of sleep. I hate eating soup. Unless I have a cold. Then chicken soup is the only thing I can eat. But Ive been thinking that I should force myself to eat soups (forces you to eat slow, and soup is diluted in water) to avoid "food comas".

I love food. I enjoy it. To eat something is pleasurable.

I enjoy eating, as long as the food's agreeable to me and I'm hungry. But if I'm busy, I often wish I didn't have to bother with it. I usually choose food that's very convenient to eat - can't be bothered with food that requires the use of 2 hands, dribbles all over the place, creates a load of dirty dishes to wash, takes up too much space on the table etc. If I'm watching a movie I don't want to have to keep looking at the meal to make sure I transport it into my mouth without any accidents. I don't like being distracted, I like to just get on with things without any hassle from anything unrelated to it.

I like the concept. It would make it far more difficult to discover the truth about who really ate all the pies.

But how would I enjoy the taste of pizza?

As someone who also binges, I kind of wish the opposite - i.e. that I could eat stuff and just have the taste and pleasure without it going near my stomach which is where all the trouble starts.

Sure there is. It's called Enteral Feeding.



As for myself...
I just dislike the hunger and craving hormones. And overall sensitivity related to consuming food.
So I just choose to fast every now and then.


The basis of hunger isn't necessarily the taste itself but more like a body's habit no different from being tied with the circadian rhythm and sleep...
It's a bit confusing, but after a long amount of time of not eating does not cause more hunger.

Maybe something happened with the way your hunger hormones excretes? Or something else entirely...

I like the food and drink high too. Jamie Oliver ruined that though for soft drinks for me, in the UK. Since the sugar tax, drinks manufacturers have taken out the sugar and replaced it all with aspartame, acesulfame K and sucralose. Artificial sweeteners like the latter two give me migraines, and as a result I have far less choice of soft drinks now. Thanks to Jamie.

Well, it would certainly make dealing with sensory issues easier... unless this way of transportation would cause new sensory issues?

If I could just transport food to my stomach I'd probably eat less, which isn't an issue for me and would be a good thing.

I like food too much, if anything. I have a tendency towards potential corpulence.
