What does height have to do with this?

I don't understand. What does how tall or short you are have to do with weightloss or how much you can eat? I do a 4oz Protein shake...slowly and I'm really satisfied with 2 (I'm 5'3). I was reading on another forum that someone that was 6ft tall could eat 2 pieces of pizza comfortably- self pay- I would be upset. I don't see why someone would want to eat that junk early out or for that matter try to push themselves past the comfy satisfied spot, but to each his own I guess. But I don't get what your height has to do with it. Can someone explain? Thanks!

Everyone's anatomy is different. But, it's been discussed that taller people may have longer sleeves than us short patients. I'm on 5'2", and I can eat 1 slice of pizza minus the thickest part of the crust.

That's interesting, I've never heard of height playing a role in what we can eat. I'm 5'5" and haven't had pizza yet, but did buy school lunch last week (I know gross, should have brought my lunch or went out, just didn't have time) and was almost able to eat 2 cheesy bread sticks...ate all of the cheese on both and 1 of the bread sticks. Felt a little uncomfortable full, but not too bad.

Well.... taller people have longer bones, longer muscles... I mean if everything's proportionate, then it stands to reason that everything inside will be longer and larger too.
