Lifestyle tips

FeedeeKali:
So I’m working on stretching my stomach so I can do more with stuffings. Are there any good ways to go about this?

Jackds:
What do you eat for breakfast? I am looking for ways to stuff myself in the morning but can't really think of much at that time. Can you suggest some non sugary items please?

Andromeda:
I'm not big on sugar either, but I do lean towards carbs and generally heavy foods. My average breakfast, if I put effort in, will include lots of eggs, cheese, bananas, lots of bread of some kind, turkey sausage, and potatoes. One of my go to breakfasts is a whole bag of frozen tater tots covered in grated cheese and some ready-to-bake bread sticks.

On mornings that I can't or don't want to cook, I often do frozen sausage, egg and cheese croissants in the oven or toaster oven or regular oven or cereal with heavy cream.

I also strongly recommend high-calorie Boost. It doesn't have the thickness of a shake and can be a helpful option if you need to move around during the day.

That said, my recommendations are all for ways to stuff, expand capacity, and get maximum calories. If the objective is literally just to stretch the stomach, soda is fantastic, and chocolate milk can work too. If using liquids, there's always the consideration of whether you'll be in a position to use the restroom later, but they do in fact work.

Ive watched people accidentally do stretch their stomach. They did it by slowly eating more. You eat your normal mean and then add snacks a bit later. You add more TO your normal meal. If you eat a pack of ramen, add another one and you can eat half that. Eventually you can eat 5....

If you are going to work stop and get a little parfait, etc

So slowly add in smaller snacks between meals. Eating more at a big meal hurts and makes you sick, its the grazing between those that helps stretch your stomach out safely and makes changes.

I agree with this approach, it certainly increased what I needed to eat to feel full over time, but also I think it has been a big part of maintaining my weight over the last year or two. I am not trying to gain anymore, and I thought I would naturally just lose some weight, but that hasn't happened.

I don't think liquids are good for this, but I am not a doctor, lol. Maybe the body can just deal with excess fluid more easily, relieving the stomach too quickly? YMMV!
