Natural appetite increasers
 

In a nutshell, I started a new job several months ago doing general warehouse work, which combined with a very physical lifestyle (lots of cycling & weightlifting) does tend to make me very tired. Whilest i can live with this, unfortunatly my appetite is lagging somewhat. I know that a large portion of my tiredness stems from not having enough calories in my diet, but i simply cannot make myself eat everything i should (about 3500+ calories/day) for longer than a week without finding myself eating less and less.
It seems to me like a catch 22, i'm tired partially because i don't eat enough, and i don't eat enough partially because i'm tired.

My question is are there any natural appetite increasers out there that could help with bumping up my diet?

Anyhelp would be gratefully appreciated by me and my stomach.

Try drinking a ton of water. A buddy of mine used to do this before going to a buffet. It will expand your stomach so when the water drains out you will get more of an empty feeling, which will make you want to eat. Its the opposite of the theory behind stomach stapling. Or you could just light up a big J...

hooch always works (may not be legal/practical) or try those shake things from health food shops (like my first idea betta) lol

get fat
 

anything extra like a daily vitamin all the time a water on hand at all times i prefer flavoered jst b cus hydration plus junk. and if you drink a boost or sumthin like that once a day, those things like slimfast can make you gain weight as long as thats not your whole intake for the day, but those on top of your regular apetite may help to gain a couple lbs. but u have to do it everyday.

I wish I had this problem. :(

Eat more frequent and nutritious small meals and snacks. If you need finger food for on the job, consider cutting foods you can eat into hand-sized portions and keeping them in small baggies in a cooler in your work area.

Satiation tends to be sensory specific. Eat a greater variety of food and your appetite should increase. (Google "sensory specific satiety". There are many studies on the topic.)

I like this answer, and I'll expand a bit based on my experience. If you happen to eat a good portion of fruit throughout the day, unless it is the filling kind, like a banana, (which contains certain starches and minute complex-carbohydrates) your body's chemistry registers the food intake more as just a mix of water and nutritional fructose/sucrose. If you eat enough of said fruit, it will provide you with an assumed "full feeling", but within a few hours, you'll sorely feel hungry again if you have eaten nothing other than handfuls of fruit the entire day. Fruit makes a great snack throughout the day because it provides needed calories and nutritional value, fiber, vitamins, etc., but also due to the fact that once processed by the digestive system, it is seen as nothing more than water, trace amount of starches, and natural sugars.

This is why there is always room for dessert after eating a savory meal. :)

Have sex.

You'll immediately want a sandwich.

I'm going to have to agree with the bear cub. Screw as much as possible. Has anyone ever NOT been hungry as hell after a good romp? Also, I would suggest smoking a very small amount of marijuana. This will make it so you "come down" fairly quickly. I recall a study in High Times saying how the munchies only really kick in on the come down, so keeping yourself in a perpetual come down seems like the right idea for chunking up.
If you're averse to illegal activity and don't have someone handy around to roll around on, the sensory satiety thing seems to make the most sense to trick your body into eating.

And why it's really easy to overeat at a buffet.

weed is all natural.

Wait... what? I totally had a good idea for you, but I forgot it and got hungry. Oh well. :)

Protein supplements and creatine will go a long way to reducing recovery time and how much that time hurts. I worked 5 years for FedEx Ground, 3 of them 40 hours/week. It made a huge difference. Sometimes the really physically active forget how much of that stuff is nutrition and not just sweating running around.
