I'm guessing what happened was that you severely cut your consumption in terms of volume and your stomach got used to that new standard. At least based on what you're saying here.
It's possible to "retrain" your stomach to accept more food and not send the signal for fullness so soon, but the only way I know how is by forcing yourself to eat, and eventually you'll adjust.
Additionally I should point out that foods high in salt, fat and sugar are sort of a cheat code for fullness; your brain loves them and so you don't feel full after eating them, which is why some people still feel hungry after eating fast food. But I wouldn't recommend dirty bulking, it'll just make you put on fat and no muscle. But I've never tried dosing this myself, e.g. adding a teaspoon of sugar to my (air-fried) fries because I'm on the other end of the stomach spectrum, I'm always hungry lol. This would reduce the salt, sugar and oil to let's say healthier levels and might still not send the signal for fullness.
You could also look at caloric drinks; it's another cheat code. Our body doesn't interpret fluids as having calories and you don't get that feeling of fullness, but we're back to the same problem where drinks add calories by adding sugar. I mean there's protein drinks and everything but I'm not sure they would fix the problem of not satiating you.
Yep, most likely.
I see.
Thank you for detailing this here more! I've already read the portion where you explain this in your guide. I've never got into fitness properly due to the whole reactionary content involving it, it's hard to find reliable information without it being sponsored by a food corporation or so. Thank you for your work comrade!
Thank you comrade, that was the whole reason I set out to writing this guide in the first place.
