If you're newly in love, that'll usually decrease appetite. The effect peters out after a few months, no intervention needed.
Really? That's interesting. What's the hypothesis on why this occurs?
The pop sci explanation is that love gives you dopamine and dopamine decreases appetite - but appetite loss is also a reaction to loss of a loved one so I don't think that's very convincing.
