Yes! I've lately been doing the form of intermittent fasting known as early time-restricted feeding. Basically, I start eating at breakfast and stop eating after lunch. I worked up to it over a few months, starting out just tracking when I already didn't eat and then slowly expanding the window. A big surprise for me was that both my feelings of hunger and my relationship to those feelings changed. As that process happened, I used my "reverse engineering" brain to think about why hunger exists and what mechanisms genes would build to maximize success of nomadic omnivores for whom food is erratically but non-randomly available. It's all just unverified hypothesizing, of course. But it was really helpful to me to think, "Ah, this feeling isn't really hunger in the sense of 'body needs food now', but more 'genes asking if food happens to be available to stock up'." After all, it's bad body design to have it wander around at all hours looking for food when it isn't available. Having that mental distance from the sensations made it much easier to just ignore them for a while to see if they subside. And they have! To my surprise I experience less discomfort from hunger when eating 6 hours a day than I did eating whenever.
