Hi Meg,

Page 157 of The 80-10-10 Diet says,

"One tactic to achieve more bites, and to support our caloric needs, is to start with several fruit meals per day, approximately four. Over time, depending on your exercise program and other healthful habits, you will be able to reduce this number of meals down to three and then possibly even two. Also, make a practice of eating just one or two bites more at each meal than you otherwise would. The elasticity of your stomach will promptly accommodate the extra bites, just as all of your other muscles would elongate if you were to adopt a yoga practice. I MUST STRESS: THE GOAL HERE IS NOT TO EAT UNTIL YOU HURT but to gently encourage your digestive system to regain its flexibility. . . . Eventually, you will be able to eat a satiating and calorie-sufficient meal from fruit that will hold you all they way until the next mealtime comes around." [emphasis added]

Does this help?
