Here are some questions for you: Why are you so afraid of feeling hungry? What do you think is going to happen? Do you think your body is really in some danger? Do you understand that the hungry feeling typically passes in 10-15 minutes if you just ride it out? Do you really believe that your body is unable to make it between meals without eating? Have you considered that you have some emotional issues tied up with eating that make the slightest feeling of hunger into an emergency for you? [/quote]

Your hunger doesn’t work like mine.  Once I am hungry, I stay hungry until I eat again.  Do other people really just atop being hungry after 10 minutes?  That is so weird to me.

PP didn’t say that the slightest bit of hunger is an emergency.  You are putting words into her mouth.  [/quote]

Usually the first day of, let's say, skipping dinner, you will be hungry till you fall asleep. At least I will. But, next day you will not be that hungry in the morning after skipping dinner. It really works. Then you will be a lot less hungry as days pass by and you don't eat dinner(or breakfast, choose your meal). So, yes, it works different for different people. But, if you actually try not eating for 24 hours, you will wake up the morning when hitting 36 hours without food completely void of any hunger pains or any desire to eat. Try it. You will be surprised. We are meant to go without food and function for long period of time. [/quote]

That may be true, but it's entirely different from "just wait 10 minutes and you won't feel hungry".

I know for me, that changing to a lower carb, whole foods diet, and including more fat in my diet have meant that it takes much longer for me to get hungry.  But once I'm hungry I stay hungry.  Perhaps if I waited for 24 hours it would change in 36 hours, but it certainly doesn't change within the next few hours. [/quote]
