Does fasting help to shrink the stomach?
When you have not eaten for about four hours your stomach will be relatively empty, looks a bit like a deflated balloon and in this state, holds about 50ml.
Once full, however, it can greatly expand and hold up to 4 litres of food and drink.
Fasting can not therefore shrink the stomach; it simply remains in the empty, deflated state. As soon as you start eating and drinking normally again, it expands once more.
