The less sugar you eat, the more normal hunger feels. Hunger feels more gnawing when your gut bugs live off your dietary sugar. They are what causes intense cravings for sweets. Giving up all sweet foods (all! Including fake sugar, and even fruit for a while) will kill of the species of bacteria who make you crave them. After a few months with no more sugar cravings, you can add a serving of fruit in ONLY AFTER PROTEIN.
You can easier skip a meal if you eat no sugars. Your body moves right into using its own fat. And you will really enjoy that next meal.
But the body reacts if you starve it by shutting down and conserving. This is why cycling between eating an starving makes loosing weight difficult.
