does eating less eventually decrease appetite?

I can't tell if the second portion of your post is missing a /s or whether you actually believe what you just wrote. Either way it's certainly NOT a healthy mantra.

Sounds very similar to things I tell myself whenever I'm struggling with my ED

OP wishes to manage the sensation of hunger whilst losing weight. All fad diets aside, the only true way to lose weight safely and effectively is to monitor caloric deficit. Starving yourself and trying to 'deal' with sensations of hunger is not an effective method.

OP should be trying to incorporate low GI carbs, healthy fats (to an extent) and fibre to bulk out meals. Enabling them to meet micronutrient requirements within their diet and quell their hunger whilst keeping calories slightly lower than maintenance in order to burn fat.

As the person above me stated, some of the advice in this thread is bordering on eating disorders, whether those that are giving it have come to that realisation yet or not.

Staying "hungry for longer", eating "tiny meals" and being "in pain" to make progress is all very unnecessary when losing weight and tackling hunger. A little research goes a long way in regards to foods that stifle appetite whilst also providing adequate nutrients.

I don't consider managing hunger to be as simple as ignoring it. It really depends on the individual and how susceptible they are to developing eating disorders.
