Stomach shrinking on IF

I’ve been doing IF since August, initially 16:8 but settling on 18:6 with some OMAD thrown in. Man I just can’t eat like I used to. It seems my stomach may have shrunk, I take it is is common however?

Took the wife out to dinner for her birthday tonight, and weighing all of 120lbs she wiped the floor with me (authentic taco joint, her request) food wise.

Answer

Yeah my new normal is a snack a meal another snack for OMAD.

4hr window to allow some digestion to occur, I eat 2 meals spaced out

16:8 is is 2meals and 2 snacks and I usually exercise on these days… If I have a smaller window I allow myself to rest

It’s so weird to think that I could eat so much before IF…

Before IF food occupied my mind for the wrong reasons, now it’s for the right reasons. I’m hoping to stick to it until 2023. See the difference one year makes and how it’s changed my relationship with food

Answer

In my experience, yes there’s a bit of stomach shrink BUT the biggest thing is that you’ve trained your brain now on what you need to sustain yourself. The biggest thing IF has done for me, besides weight loss, is avoiding serious weight gain and I believe it’s because we now have a better gauge on what we need food-wise.
