Somebody posted a little comic in the schizophrenia Subreddit called the Munchening. It showed a bunch of patients at a mental hospital bugging the nurse for more snacks at snack time. Then one of them asks if their Zyprexa has any side effects. I thought that was pretty relatable.

How long have you been smoke free? Good job it’s very healthy to quit.

I ask my husband for food in my sleep/half asleep and don’t remember it… He usually gets it for me and I eat it

I think it’s a med side effect. I always get hungry half hour after taking it, too. I drink some hot tea with cinnamon and go to sleep. But it is noticed.

I ate two oranges for lunch and I had about 1/3 of a small plate of ginger chicken and rice for supper. No appetite now.

I had a banana for breakfast, nothing for lunch…blood sugar was good all day until I had 2 grilled cheese sandwiches for supper and bs went through the roof :frowning:

I find if I add more cheese I can cut down on how many sandwiches it takes to fill me and it shouldn’t make your blood sugar nearly as high, remember bread is sugar to the body

That seems like a very low calorie consumption. That’s a bit concerning. Have you let your GP know how little you’re eating?

This made me think of the story of the Suppenkaspar from the german book Der Struwwelpeter, written in the mid 1800s. Every German.child is probably familiar with this book.

Sometimes I get that and I’ll eat chocolate bars or snacks.

Ik fasting overnight is good for blood glucose levels but I also believe snacking doesn’t hurt; hunger is hunger and if the bodies craving something, perhaps a nutrient is lacking.

I don’t see it as greed.

I just slept ate last night. Had 4 pieces of pizza in the fridge when I went to bed. When I woke up in the morning it was gone. :mouse::mouse::mouse:

Well it really depends on what you are snacking on. There’s a difference between snacking on carrot sticks vs snacking on 12 nutter butter bars.

I guess so. There’s always a limit. Healthy snacks just don’t hit right with me lol.

I mean, they don’t hit anyone right. That’s why people don’t eat them. :rofl:
