Your Stomach Shrinks and Expands Dramatically

An average empty stomach is about the size of a fist, but it can stretch to hold over a liter of food — sometimes up to four liters in extreme cases! After several days of very light eating, your stomach temporarily shrinks, making you feel full faster. Conversely, frequent overeating can expand it, increasing your appetite over time. This is why portion control can literally retrain your stomach’s capacity.
