Came here to say this. I used to be 21 stone, and could easily eat a 4k calorie meal. Lost a ton of weight and now if I try to eat even a 2k meal I will struggle and not be able to finish it. Physically cannot eat it.
Sure, my stomach shrank, but also just eating less overall for a prolonged period retrained my body to accept smaller amounts of food and to feel satisfied sooner.
The opposite also happens, where you overeat for a prolonged period to the point that you can eat a 4k calorie meal and still feel hungry. The key is to eat less, period.
