[quote=Anonymous]I'm someone who naturally has a big appetite. If I were to eat pizza I could absolutely eat 4 slices and not feel stuffed. I could have 2 eggs and 2 pancakes and bacon and hash browns and feel just fine.

I am 5'6 and weigh 147 right now. I was at a high of 158 a few years ago, got down to 136-138 but got sloppy on my eating and here I am.

This week I decided to try to dramatically reset my appetite and food intake. I have been skipping breakfast and eating very clean and light. For example I had about a half cup of chicken breast and raw vegetables for lunch and about 8 boiled shrimp, half a cup of black beans and broccoli (cooked in a bit of olive oil) for dinner.

Surprisingly though I am eating probably 1/3 of the calories I normally eat, I am only slightly hungrier than I was before. (I wasn't eating the huge meals I referenced before. I did try to stay away from simple carbs and sugar). I was often hungry before, and I was eating healthy fats and lots of protein. I think I am just a hungry person!

I know what I am doing now is not sustainable. It isn't enough fuel. But how do I transition into eating a more normal amount? I am actually finding that skipping breakfast is good for me because I eat less through the rest of the day. Even when I eat a high protein breakfast I am hungry again by 10:30 am and am not satisfied with a normal sized lunch.

Any advice on what to do next? Can I keep eating like this? Should I slowly transition to eating more? Skip breakfast? [/quote]
