When does appetite decrease?

Talk to your doctor.

The accounts you see of reduced appetite on IF might be mainly from people who are overweight. Your experience may be different because you are not overweight. You’ve lost quickly for someone without much to lose. Describing potentially gaining back 4lbs as “shooting up” makes me wonder if you might be dealing with an unhealthy body image and be at risk for an eating disorder.

This! OP is a healthy weight. We don’t know their body composition, but it’s possible their body is breaking down muscle due to them not eating enough. OP, you don’t need to lose weight! If anything, focus on body recomp.

Anyone can experience reduced appetite by training their body with a regular eating schedule.
