Shrinking Stomach?

I just did a search to see if this was actually possible and found this story.

It’s the incredible shrinking stomach! If this sounds more like a fable than a fact, think again. While you may not be able to physically shrink your stomach like bariatric surgery can, you can definitely shrink your hunger.

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, following a reduced-calorie diet for four weeks can help you shrink your sensation of hunger. Reducing the amount of food your body needs to feel full means you can actually eat less without feeling like you’re starving.

While reducing caloric intake does take time (four whole weeks), it’s well worth it. Although you may feel like it’s torture to cut calories, in the end you’ll be leaner and healthier.

Who wouldn’t want that? To start shrinking your hunger pangs, fill up on foods that are rich in water and fiber, such as fruits. As your body adapts to eating fewer calories, you’ll notice that you don’t crave as much food as you used to. That definitely spells success for your diet!
