Gastric volume/Stomach capacity

chris_in_cal

Any of you sciencey/researchy people aware of any study on the ability of a person to change the resting volume of their stomach.

If I eat a high density maintenance-level amount of calories, perhaps in four or five meals per day, where each meal is very small volume, over an amount of time will the capacity of my stomach decrease.

If I eat twice my maintenance level calories of low density food for a period of time, will the capacity of my stomach expand.

Any connection with resting stomach capacity and satiety?

You might also want to look at other research and writings by the same author. Had I access to a citation index, I would have "searched forward" to see who had cited his article to get a more recent take on this. A librarian at a university library can help you with this.

Hey @HeidiCooksSupper that's awesome. In short with reduced consumption the size of a stomach does shrink. I wonder how this might impact the ability to maintain a loss, or continue losing. Is satiety impacted by a change in stomach volume.

"A librarian at a university library" how quaint....j/k the world is changing. Talking to anyone seems remote.

Thanks again.

The reason I suggested it is because they have access to more expensive indexing tools universities pay for. One, Science Direct, (formerly Science Citation Index) has the capacity to search who-cited-this-article questions. So, if you wanted to know who is doing further research today that leans upon and goes further than the original article, you would do a citation search in Science Direct.

University libraries spend millions per library on resources we can't get to for free on the web. Part of the justification for spending this much is that major state university libraries also are required to provide some information services to anyone in the state. Otherwise, to get access to these information sources, you need to be a registered student/faculty member/employee of the university. That's all written up in the contract the university library signs when paying for a license to use the resource.
