If you could take a pill

That contained all the calories, nutrients etc and satisfied your hunger instead of having to eat, would you?

I don’t enjoy eating. I find it a chore. I do have ARFID though, and I drink nutritional drinks to keep my calories up when I have a day when I can’t force myself to eat. It doesn’t stave off the hunger but I’m used to the feeling so it doesn’t bother me

No way. I love food...it's my passion

Heartofstrings · 01/10/2020 17:25

I think I would if I could do it for short term weight loss purposes. I have about 18lbs to lose and a pill would take the confusion out of it. For the rest of my life, no

Nope, I won't do diet pills or shakes for meal replacement.. I'd kill people after day 2..i want to chew food and enjoy it.

Snap WINDOLENE.
Food is a big passion of mine!

AvoidingRealHumans · 01/10/2020 17:56

No because I enjoy food, the textures, taste, smells, the occasional indulgent treat I have.
I don't just eat to live.
In an ideal world before cake was invented then maybe.

MattBerrysHair · 01/10/2020 19:18

No, food is a joy I'd not go without.

indemMUND · 01/10/2020 19:20

Definitely!

olivo · 01/10/2020 19:28

Absolutely! I'm just not interested in food.

KoalaKoalaPanda · 01/10/2020 19:47

You sound like my ex. I couldn't understand but I know you aren't alone in that thinking.

legohouse · 01/10/2020 21:53

Yes, it's a faff

corythatwas · 01/10/2020 23:28

No. I enjoy food, I enjoy the fact that we're growing our own veg, I enjoy choosing recipes and planning to make the most of what we have, I enjoy cooking and I enjoy eating.

ButterflyRuns · 01/10/2020 23:29

I like food so I wouldn't give it up, but I guess it'd be useful for when I was feeling lazy

PurpleDaisies · 01/10/2020 23:32

No, I love food.

cheezy · 01/10/2020 23:35

I’m surprised that so many people are indifferent to food Shock
I just can’t imagine that.
It’s one of life’s greatest, richest pleasures. Well, it is for me.

Personally I don't enjoy cooking and hate the shop, prep and clean up. However, I do love nothing better than eating nice food that's a smell and taste sensation. Would I pop a pill to save the faff on myself? Most definately! Would I forgo an amazing meal that someone else prepared? Hell no! But I'm frankly bone idle and refuse to piss about cooking any longer than I have to in my daily life. I'd rather have a cheese sarnie than spend much time cooking just for myself. Although I do use my slow cooker and freeze portions as it's so easy and it feels like several meals from one outlay of effort make the prep worthwhile. But we're all different and ex thought nothing of piddling about with onion gravy for 2hrs and leaving all the washing up in the sink 🤨
