Appetite Thermostat

All of us at one point or another, have been told that if we overeat, we stretch our stomach out. So then what's our next step? We consume less, thinking the opposite effect will take place, that is, our stomach will shrink. Well guess what, neither one of these ideas are true! Take a look at your fist, what you are seeing is about the size of your stomach.

"Your stomach is only the size of your fist, so it takes just a handful of food to fill it comfortably," -Michelle May, MD.

"Once you are an adult, your stomach pretty much remains the same size -- unless you have surgery to intentionally make it smaller. Eating less won't shrink your stomach, but it can help to reset your "appetite thermostat" so you won't feel as hungry, and it may be easier to stick with your eating plan. - Mark Moyad, MD
