You can train hunger response. I used to fast for a full 24 hours, water only. It was difficult at the beginning, but a few months in and I wouldn't even feel all that hungry. The bouts of hunger that would come only lasted an hour or so, then I would be fine. This benefit has continued, even though I haven't purposefully fasted for years. Not eating just generally doesn't bother me anymore. If I'm in a rush to get to lunch, it's usually because I want to get out of the office for a bit...
- e59d134d 9y agoI am one of those people who never get hungry. I don't fast, but don't eat breakfast, skip lunches once in a while. Usually have a large dinner. I am not skinny but slightly overweight, according to BMI (25.1). But when I purposefully eat as much as possible on vacations (trying out all of the famous places, you know), then for next week or two I get hungry all the time. It takes a lot of time before I could get back to my normal eating schedule. I really don't care one way or other but my busy schedule just get in the way of regular lunches. Also I have been going to same doctor for last decade and he says my health is as great as of someone 15 years younger than me.
