I was surprised to find this wasn't a problem for me at all. I've lost 25+ lbs since the end of July and I've actually discovered that my stomach adjusts to the smaller portions and I start finding it very difficult to exceed my calorie limit. I ordered a Chipotle burrito a few weeks ago and only ate half of it. A year ago I would have eaten the whole thing. I wasn't restraining myself, I just felt full (and I had eaten little else that day). This kind of thing is always happening to me now.
The problem is, if you do break your diet your stomach adjusts again and you'll want more food for the next few meals.
(If this stomach adjusting thing is all in my head, please let me keep the placebo)
Likewise. I made some minor changes to my diet -- smaller typical portions, more meals through the day, more fruits for snacks instead of junk food -- and over the past ten months or so, I've lost about 20 pounds without feeling hungry. I can eat whatever I want without counting calories, and my pants are getting loose around the waist. It's damn peculiar.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
I'm experiencing the same issue. Small to moderate size meals will fill me up. On weekdays when I'm only eating a single meal, dinner, this can be an issue for me. I've had to add occasional snacks to ensure that I don't eat too little.
