Do you even care what you eat??

I still pay some attention to taste even with shakes and prefer one brand over others. This sounds like plain dog food mixed with yogurt.

Same here. I have lost any interest in planning or cooking dinner.

I just do whatever I feel like. A little of whatever is in the food is not a big deal to me.

I eat to meet a goal and see it as part of the overall plan. I still like my own healthy cooking and what my wife makes.

The main issue for me is the effort of making a full meal when I get full after just a little. Even before this I only cooked enough for the next day to limit waste and avoid getting tired of recipes. Last night I had a few pieces of seasoned fish and some roasted greens and that was it. I have not used a pot or pan in a long time because it always leads to too much food and work.

I mostly do not care anymore as long as it has protein. I have to avoid gluten and a new bakery opened nearby so we bought a box of items. In the past I would have finished the whole thing but now I took one bite of most and stopped. I do like having leftovers though and make extra when I cook so I do not have to do it again soon.

I just eat cottage cheese most of the time.

I relate to the original post. On the medication I have eaten basically the same simple meals for months with the same items for lunch and dinner and yogurt with fruit for breakfast. I switch in lean beef sometimes but not as often as the other protein. I add a daily multivitamin for anything missing. I used to put a lot of effort into marinades and spices but now I use almost none. It is boring but it works.

I still like good food and stop if it is not satisfying. I eat to hit protein targets so there is some mix. So far today I had a couple of high-protein shakes and a bowl with chicken cheese and chips for around one hundred grams of protein. I have no strong urge to go out so I will probably have another shake and more chicken later. I started with a few small cupcakes this morning. I have lost a lot of weight over many weeks on these medications while averaging steady weekly loss. I take mostly one with small amounts of the others. I can repeat the same meal or enjoy something different depending on the day. If there is a social meal coming I adjust earlier intake so I am not too full. I had a very high-calorie dip over two meals this week and a large portion of pizza last week. Pizza sounds good again tonight.

If my body allowed it I would be fine not eating much. I have eaten a lot of apples and joke that I am turning into a mascot from all the dairy. There are plenty of easy dairy options. When I do prepare something I still try to make it both nutritious and tasty. I cook a batch of eggs ahead on a free day and keep them ready. I also use pre-cooked chicken pieces that are simple and taste decent. I track intake with the same app and noticed better sleep scores once I fixed a couple of mineral levels. I like ultra-filtered milk products and shakes. Cottage cheese makes planning simple. I add chia seeds for fats since they have no taste.

I eat whatever I want now but there is not much that appeals anymore. I never liked cooking even though I can do it. Before this medication I followed a strict eating style and cooked often. Now I have to push myself to make anything and it is hard to reach the protein I need. Without shakes I would fall far short.

I am on maintenance now so I eat what I want. We cook dinner at home and split the work though I do more. I avoid fried food except wings and anything processed. I would like to gain a few pounds since I went a bit past my second goal but I still have some belly fat left.

After many weeks I am down a good amount and have been steady for the last month. I am basically at maintenance. Energy is returning and appetite is back to a normal level. I can eat and enjoy it more than before though not as much as prior. I am paying more attention to flavors again now that the main loss phase is over. This might be how it stays and I am okay with that.

Over the past year I got into baking and enjoy it and am good at it according to others. I rarely taste what I make and when I do it is just okay even with recipes that used to be favorites. It is nice mentally to make treats and not want them so I can give them all away. At the same time food enjoyment was a big part of who I am so it feels like losing a piece of myself.

I like organizing my food in advance and making big batches every seven days. These days I'm into legumes and meat-based dishes. A few days back I put together chicken pieces soaked in a yogurt spice mix plus seasoned beans to have at midday. During the weekend I get my midday and evening meals ready for the coming days by splitting them into containers. These days I take in smaller amounts than before yet everything must rely on natural items quality components and bold flavors otherwise it won't appeal enough to finish.

I feel the same. I used to love cooking but now I do it only because I have to. I still like the taste of what I make but I have no real interest in food. I hope the enjoyment of cooking returns because it feels a bit sad for my kids.

I eat because I make myself and I probably do not get enough protein if I am honest. I keep saying I will work on it but then I do not feel hungry so I do not want to cook. I bought some pre-cooked chicken this week and have not touched it. I just need to force myself to eat more protein because I am nowhere near one hundred grams a day.
