    In what ways can I increase my appetite? (besides working out). I just don't feel hungry these days and won't eat because I'm not hungry.

    It might sound silly, but sometimes I'm not hungry until I see all sorts of yummy foods on tv or in magazines. Have you tried that?

    Or what about smells of food? Does it make you nauseous to smell food? Otherwise smells can also trigger hunger.

    Hey Kyle, one big side affect from smoking sessation could be a decrease in appetite, I know mine has gone down too. A friend of mine suggested that I eat saltier foods which will trigger more hunger. Also, do you think you are eating less now than you did when you smoked? I used to feel full from smoking so I am wondering if I am eating the same but feel like its less because my meals are not supplemented by a cig or isn't prolonged by one. Just a thought.
