Ha, you can't post anything anymore without people asking for scientific evidence. So annoying. Eat healthy, eat when you are hungry, stop eating when you feel full. It's easy to understand. People just want to play stupid here.

I basically read this as... "you can't post anything more without people asking for proof...jeeze whatever happened to the honor system people. Don't you know anything you read on the internet HAS to be true?"

Yerp. I'm grateful that you can't post something completely illogical on here without being questioned. There's enough derp in the world already.

Seriously. I don't understand how anyone could think it is a BAD thing to call out misinformation. The world would be a better place if people questioned arbitrary statements instead of just swallowing them whole.

Logical or not, at least it is entertaining. Like the bible.

I dunno, all that "begatting" got pretty old pretty quick. I did like the arbitrary stonings, though!

Eat only food the size of my stomach, but stop eating when I'm full. Food the size of my stomach doesn't make me feel full, and I mean full as in not hungry. 45 - 75 mL of food isn't a lot of food, definitely not enough to make me feel full, even consuming oil.

Your hands are that small ? http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/JonathanCheng.shtml suggests the elasticity is significant.

Hand width, including thumb - 3.5 inches
Hand length, tip of middle finger to wrist - 5.75 inches
Fist circumference at widest point - 8.25 inches

The 45-75 mL is the average volume of an empty stomach from what I found. I would guess OP means to start with an empty stomach and not a stretched one. I can stretch my fingers and thumb out quite a ways which would mean more food, but OP insists on a loosely closed fist, so I'm stuck with baby portions.

My fist is about 290 ml.
