Loss of appetite!
Loss of appetite is described as a person eating less than what he or she normally consumes.
The person may also not eat at all lasting anywhere from one meal to several days.
Loss of appetite which is medically referred to as anorexia, can be caused by a variety of conditions and diseases.
Some of these conditions can be temporary and reversible, Example loss of appetite from the effects of medications.
Some of the conditions can be more serious, Example causes from the effects of underlying cancer.
Any persisting lack of appetite should be evaluated by a health-care professional.
