While you have fat being consumed in your body you will fell hunger.

I don't fell hunger anymore. My body fat = 5% Weight = 123.8 pounds

Caloric Intake = 1400 - 1660 kcal/day

Well... perhape CR+Exercise starve you below you BMR, that's the

reason for the hunger. Try 1900 kcal + 2 hours of heavy exercise/day.

Forget about food is the only way to avoid binge attacks. If you think

about food all the time... It's very dificult do do CR. Being busy helps

you to avoid food temptation. Specially starve yourself studing and

engaging into creative thinking.

Sounds plausible, although I can't think of any evolutionary reason

for why that would happen. If it does happen though, it would be even

more motivation to get down to a sensibly low bodyfat and then simply

maintain that weight (through CRON, naturally).

I've heard evolutionary arguments for being hungry when food is present, and

for abandoning being overtly hungry after a period of time if it isn't

successful in increasing feeding. As in the fat caveman being more likely to

survive famine to reproduce, and it's easier to hunt or survive if you're

not distracted by your stomach grumbling.

I recently knocked off a short fast and didn't notice any increased hunger,

but I timed it so I was suitably distracted.

I can an understand that logic if we're talking about a fat

caveman...but if the caveman is on the verge of starvation (as are

very calorically restricted people) there is a definite genetic

advantage in this person being extremely hungry.

However, I haven't really found this to be true (luckily). I have the

impression that a great deal of society's constant hunger is learnt.

Had we all grown up eating 2 meals a day (and not three) I think the

times when we feel hungry would be different. Just speculating.
