Anorexia after cycling...

[northstar]

Hmmm...

A couple years back, I had been suffering from depression and anxiety and finally went on meds to get it under control. Once on the meds, I realized I didn't have much of an appetite anymore. I am an emotional eater and had up to that point been kind of self medicating with food. I lost about 20 pounds. Maybe the biking has the same effect on you? The positive energy shuts off the appetite that may have been fueled by emotional issues? I don't know if that's the case with you though.

I don't know if "anorexia" is a good word to describe this effect...I think we should say loss of appetite. As a previous poster noted, anorexia nervosa is a whole other monster.
