How to Reduce Stomach Size

The stomach is not a large organ but it has the ability to stretch and contract depending on the amounts of food it processes at any given meal. If you consistently consume food in large portions, your stomach will gradually stretch and it will take more food to make you feel full. In order to reduce the size of your stomach, you have to eat smaller portions of food; to keep your metabolism up, you have to eat several meals.

Things You'll Need

How to Reduce Stomach Size

• 1

  Eat a breakfast of approximately 400 calories. This may consist of a piece of toast with fruit jelly, two scrambled eggs, and a glass of milk or juice.

• 2

  Eat a light snack two to three hours after breakfast that is 200-250 calories. This might be fruit and plain yogurt, or two servings of crackers.

• 3

  Eat a lunch that is about 400 calories. Examples might include a sandwich and small salad, a healthy frozen meal, or even leftovers from the night before. There are lots of choices!

• 4

  Eat a mid-afternoon snack that is 200 to 250 calories.

• 5

  Eat a light dinner of 400 calories. This is usually the hardest meal to keep to 400 calories, especially if you are eating out. Having eaten several small meals throughout the day, you should not feel that hungry which makes it easier to eat a dinner that is relatively light.

  Eat a small desert of 200 calories. Have a serving of cottage cheese, ice cream with fresh fruit, or a glass of chocolate milk.
