In my opinion what we know as "hunger" is more conditioning to eat at specific times usually triggered by certain foods. I reckon that is why people are so keen to find "cereal" type foods to have for "breakfast".I am curious why no hunger? would it not be a natural (healthy) response to not eating for 4 days to be very hungry? sounds odd to me
By changing what I eat completely and following ultra low carb/carnivore I think I have finally taken control of that conditioning and ditched it. I know the food types that trigger the desire to eat often and avoid them completely.
Fasting has been done by humans for millennia (when there wasn't any food around) so its hardly new. Once we have re-established control over eating then it can be quite beneficial I'm sure by day 6 or 7 I'll want to have something but so far nothing really appeals.
For full disclosure it does help that I have a sore tongue at the moment so eating would also be a bit difficult.
