Bandera de México

/Sounds like 'seen FEE-loh'/

To have no appetite, no hunger, or no desire to eat. In Mexico, 'filo' means 'hunger,' so 'sin filo' is the negation of that feeling. It's a common expression used to describe a temporary lack of appetite, often due to stress or distraction.

Example

"I'm not eating, I have no appetite today."

"I woke up with no hunger, not even breakfast appeals to me."
