I am 63yrs old. I am still working 8 to 6 job.My morning starts with a cup of green tea and breakfast which is generally South Indian type 5-6 idlis with chutney or 2 dosas or upma which is a good filling and satiating. For lunch I carry 3 chapatis with vegetable or occassionally lemon rice or pulav . My problem is I am unable to eat my lunch fully. I don't feel like finishing it. Most of the time I leave one chapati uneaten. I do not feel hunger.Earlier I would have good tiffin and also eat 5 chapatis in office which over the years dropped to 3 at present . I discussed with my doctor who suggested CT scan abdomen and LFT which both came normal .He recommended medicines and syrup for 1 to2 months .My full b ody checkup also appears normal. I take medicines for thyroid and BP.Sometimes even if don't eat full day my next meal will be little due to low hunger. Please suggest a solution which will improve my food intake. I do not smoke or drink.
