The trick is to have an undiagnosed illness that constantly upsets your stomach and threatens to regurgitate any food you eat. Once I realized it hurts less to not eat at all, I started regularly skipping on meals. What’s really annoying is that I still have a pudgy tummy, even though I’m stuck on a diet some people would dream of being able to commit to.

If you’re not already, give medical cannabis a try. You won’t have any more upset stomachs.

“pudgy” as in bloated? I never even knew what “bloating” was before I actually got properly rid of it.

I too skipped meals and still do (because it kinds stayed as a habit) but i don’t need to anymore. I went on an exclusion diet to see if it was some undiagnosed food allergy. Rice/potatos and fish/meats basically, with some basic veggies. Even at one point I avoided all allium plants, meaning all onions, leeks, garlic, etc. It’s kinda basic, but if it works, then you can start adding things back and see what you react to.

I still haven’t got a diagnosis, but I’ve lost the bloating and stomach pain and about like 20% of bodyweight even though I was never even overweight. I’m still kinda wondering what it exactly is which triggers that sort of horrible inflammation in me, but I can very clearly feel a difference. Like night and day. I couldn’t even enjoy red wines before, stomach just didn’t fucking handle them. I even had heart palpitations most days. Them and burping and eveything; gone (I’m not on a not too restrictive but gluten and casein free diet, meaning no gluten and no dairy.)
