Damn I wish, I’m more like:
Body: I’m hungry
Brain: but I just ate a child sized burrito
Body: don’t care, want more
Brain: yeah you’re right, we should probably eat some more
Genuinely, what got me out of such feelings was to not eat for a day or two a few times (not in a row).
Learning the difference between real hunger and “stomach is just empty” made a BIG difference. I can basically ignore first-world hunger now without even trying. Also probably omeprasole helped, since a highly acidic stomach sucks and can turn normal hunger pains in to nasty heartburn that only certain foods can quench.
Oh! That reminds me… It’s probably also worth getting used to exercizing in such a condition. Getting your body used to ketosis goes a long ways to not having a major low energy slump when the carbs/sugars run out.
Of course, that also requires maintaining at least a semi-healthy level of body fat so ketosis has something to work with. Being a twig and going hungry is just going to suck in general.

Yeah, once you get past the carb-hunger it gets easier.

I’ve been more in this camp for most of my life. I have no solutions, the only thing that worked for me was HRT.
