How to eat more when you feel full all the time
In this short advice video, the speaker addresses athletes who struggle to increase their food intake because they feel constantly full. He shares a case study of a college basketball player who needed to gain weight but could not eat more due to persistent satiety. The speaker explains that the body adapts to habitual intake levels, so if an athlete has been eating little, their appetite will stay suppressed. He advises a two‑week “suck it up” period during which the athlete should deliberately add 1–2 extra snacks per day, even when not hungry. After this adaptation phase, the athlete’s appetite typically increases, making it easier to continue adding calories. The basketball player reported a dramatic appetite shift after two weeks, confirming the method’s effectiveness.
