Probably not…your body gets discrated and doesnt think about food.

A: Honey I smoke and yes it does make you loose your appetite, I only eat maybe once a day because I’m not hungry. I still am gaining weight too.Energy drinks….unfortunately they do because they fill you up with empty calories and burn them off by increasing your metabolism.Drugs, regular soda, some diet sodas, tons of protein, and actually and overload of iron in the bloodstream can do this.
