“Hunger is the best sauce in the world,” wrote Miguel de Cervantes in Part II, Chapter V, of Don Quixote, (1615).
I don’t think regularly feeling hunger is very desirable or necessary, let alone sustainable. It takes a long time to lose weight and being miserable makes it less likely you’ll see it through. Being a little hungry just as the meal is being served, fine. Living in a frequent or constant state of hunger is not a successful path to healthy and sustainable weight loss.
In my personal experience due to serious ADHD that made my hyperfocus on video games instead of eating, at some point, if you go regularly go hungry without actually starving yourself, you’ll just stop feeling hungry at all, and instead feel weak and woozy when you go a little too long (which is obviously also not good).
Now that I’m an adult with a full time job though I end up stress eating to get through my 10 hour days so my ADHD “hack” isn’t universal, unfortunately.
