Many people struggle to gain weight not because they don't know about calorie surplus, but because they can't consume enough calories. This video aims to solve these underlying issues, starting with poor appetite, which prevents individuals from reaching their calorie goals without feeling sick.
To fix poor appetite, it's crucial to establish fixed meal times. Eating small, irregular snacks before main meals, like momos at 7 PM, can signal your stomach that a meal has arrived, even if it's insufficient. This makes you feel less hungry for your actual meal at 9 PM. Sticking to a consistent meal schedule trains your body to expect food at certain times. Additionally, improving sleep quality helps regulate hunger hormones, further aiding appetite.
Liquid calories are a game-changer for skinny individuals, as they are digested faster than solid foods, allowing for more frequent eating and higher overall calorie intake. However, a common problem with liquid calories is poor digestion, which is the second major issue to address for effective weight gain. If your digestion is already poor, either avoid or consume liquid calories in moderation.
To fix poor digestion, identify and avoid specific foods that cause discomfort (e.g., soy chunks). Introduce high-fiber foods like papayas, which are excellent for gut health, even if you don't typically enjoy them. Incorporating thick, homemade yogurt into your diet every two to three days can also significantly improve digestion due to its beneficial nutrients for gut health.
While items like fruits and yogurt may not be high in calories, they are essential for smoothing the digestion process. By improving digestion, you enable your body to efficiently process more food, allowing you to consume higher calories and achieve a calorie surplus naturally. Fixing these two core issues—poor appetite and poor digestion—will inevitably lead to consistent weight gain.
