Not really, “hungry” is often just a signal that the body wants more carbs.

If you think about it, why for example would an obese person be “hungry”? They have enough fat stores to live for months.

Intermittent fasting is a lot like working out, except it is a metabolic workout. It forces the body to burn up the glucose in the bloodstream, muscles and liver. It’s an effective way to burn fat, but research studies are showing vwry promising benefits apart from simply burning off pounds, it has very positive effects on blood pressure and “blood lipid parameters”, meaning cholesterol, allergies and asthma, and inflammation, even possibly warding of cancer, and immune system response, something very relevant today with the you-know-what viruses deployed around the world.

I only eat when I’m hungry. I know I’m overweight but not obese. Ingesting minimum amounts of sugar helps!
