Yeah this is the part a lot of people here are missing. If you just don’t overeat for a week or two, that entire hormone pathway recalibrates pretty quickly and both your pre-meal appetite and fullness will trend towards being satisfied with less food.
The other thing see a lot is people who simply cannot tolerate any hunger at all. They must eat the moment they feel even slightly hungry, and this becomes an insanely powerful urge over time. It’s ok to just be hungry sometimes, especially if you are trying to lose weight.
It’s amazing how that works. I started intermittent fasting about a week ago (basically just skipping breakfast) and now when I do eat, I’m full after a few bites. So I’m eating fewer meals on top of eating less food per meal.
I’m sort of the opposite I always just ate however much I felt like which usually isn’t too much, now I try to actively notice whenever I start getting hungry. So that I can start eating or at least gathering food. To avoid the bad hunger.

The hungry feeling tells you how soon to eat, not how much to eat.
And I think your stomach is more likely to tell you you’re full sooner if it has been a while since you last ate.

The stomach shrinks, yes? Has that been proven as well? I’m interested in this if you eat less you’ll require less thing.

Also pretty forehead advice.
Notice hunger -> get food.
Eat until you are satiated not full
Eat slowly until you’re satiated.
Look up the French Paradox
Good point, I can hoover up a box of the old Reeses peanut butter ice cream things before Im satiated and that’s like 3 days of calories.
To be fair, that’s not really food my guy
I like that. It may require a certain amount of mindfulness, but I guess that’s practice.
I’ve been doing this for a while and I still get questioned as to why I sometimes eat so little. 🤷 if I get hungry I can just eat more.
