Yeah...me too! My appetite's totally in the toilet! I thought exercise was supposed to make you hungry and increase appetite..huh! But to answer your question, YES...I'm in the same boat as you...and I'm forcing myself to eat "something" for breakfast...which is my least hungry time. I'm a coffee/cig in the morn kind of person. I could never actually find the time to eat so many meals per day...so I just supplement with the whey protein (0 carb...I use Isopure Vanilla)...I also mix in banana/fresh strawberries...yum! I usually have it after my workout as it seems to replenish my body nicely without bloating me out!
I've learned (mostly from female bodybuilders) that when you've got those last 20 lbs to lose, it can be harder than if you had 100 lbs to lose. You've got to feed the body with plenty of protein...protein...protein, next complex carbohydrates (needed for energy, quick burning fuel when you exercise), and essential fats. I'm going to start looking into some further supplementation as many people at our stage are recommending glutamane, fish oil caps, and amino acids. I'm trying to find the best ones...but plenty of woman swear by them. They say it helps us woman shed the last few pounds more than just diet/exercise alone...cuz of all the exercise we lose alot of the vitamins, etc. in our food (sweat it out) so muscle growth (which is really the goal) is stunted...and thereby so it weight loss. I'll let you know anything that I try if it helps or not.
