Can you please describe the natural secrets to weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch receptors: Your stomach has stretch receptors. Your ability to feel satisfied from eating food depends on them. If you eat a smaller portion of food for a short period of time for all your meals, your stretch receptors shrink, and you get satisfied with that smaller amount of food. It's why people have difficulty eating after abdominal surgery... If they can't eat for a few days, stretch receptors shrink.
