Is it normal not to like food?

33% Normal
11 Comments

I'm an extremely picky eater and I refuse to eat 95% or more of what's available. I usually eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast and starve for the rest of the day, eating a small amount at dinner. I don't believe I'm anorexic, assuming this is caused by either a desire for control or a thinner weight (I'd actually like to gain a little), I simply don't like food. Is this normal?

    There might be something wrong with your taste buds. I think different people preceive tastes differenly which is why some people may like one thing and some may not. Its a sensory issue.

      Well I didn't deliberately choose not to like food so you'd be disgusted by me.
      You wouldn't go around telling people who involuntarily dislike your favorite color that they disgust you, would you?

    I wouldn't call it normal. But just make sure you're getting the nutrients you need, and don't get too thin

    I feel somewhat the same way. I tend to only eat very "boring" and simple things, like bread and cereal. But listen, do your best to eat meat and such even though you don't like it. Just a tiny amount is very good for you.

    You might have a zinc deficiency. If you have low zinc levels you'd develop very picky taste buds and any food that doesn't have high levels of zinc would taste bland, like cardboard. You might try looking it up online or try to see a nutritionalist about it.

    definately sounds like you have psychological issues but .. when you put it into context .. you either eat .. or you don't eat so it's either die or live .. your choice !

    I used to feel like this but that was when I had a relapse with Anorexia. Things got really bad and I felt like I was going to die...
