I do IT on an ad-hoc basis. 16 hour fasts maybe 5 days per week. After a short period of adaptation I've found I'm just not bothered by hunger any more, up until the time I usually eat (11am-ish). It seems that my body has learned when it can expect to eat and hunger doesn't become an issue until around the time. So, to answer your question, perhaps you need to try for a few weeks, if you haven't do so already.
