It’s gotten to the point where I’m literally sniffing food to slow the hunger

Is this a bad sign?

Like i was dead ass just smelling bread and Oreos for over a minute so I feel less hungry and get 0 calories

You are damaging your metabolism. Smelling food only increases the cephalic phase making you secrete more gastric acid juice into the mucosa.

When the oesophageal phase (intaking of food) doesn’t occur after the cephalic phase (the phase of your body hormones and secretions getting ready for some food) you are disrupting your gut metabolism, this could result in low pH of your pepsin and HCL resulting in hyperacidity. Further complications of this include barret’s oesophagus and gastro esophageal reflux disease if done for a prolonged time.

Try to not think about food at all instead. Occupy yourself in work and activities that support this.

All this just to keep taking caffeine
