Default Smaller portions?

I just realized today that my preferred portions are starting to diminish. Before I started low-carbing and I would buy frozen entrees for dinner, I would always feel they were too small and eat two. And also, have you noticed that in the last few years they have been making more and more larger-sized frozen meals?

I just had my lunch and it dawned on me that the amount of food I was eating was about the amount in a typical frozen entree. And I was perfectly satisfied.

Of course, my food was more "calorie" dense since it had more fat in it than a frozen entree would and it also had a lot more protein since it had no simple carbs (i.e. pasta, rice or potatoes). But when I started low-carbing, I was eating larger meals than I am now too. But I would be stuffed.

It's wonderful to realize that I no longer to seem to need to get stuffed to feel satisfied. I am finally getting in touch with my body and realizing when I am full.

So I was just wondering, is this happening to a lot more people out there than me?
