> If you cut down portion size your stomach will shrink over time. That too is a half truth. It's not just that the stomach's available volume decreases that a feeling of appetite is satiated. Smaller portions of rich foods can do this, sometimes. Eating slower can but only if the right foods are consumed to help trigger the biochemical response (not vanishing calories). There is actually a feedback mechanism and it's not as cut and dry as fill the space = I'm done. I recognize I've only given a high level talking point and I apologize that I can't recant the physiology and chemical pathways that perform this function. Maybe someone in the medical field can chime and and fill the gaps we're both creating? I happen to be the skinny one in a very obese family and have probably spent too much time time to figure this out.
