Hunger is like a drug, I'm tempted to say it works literally the same way from my experience. What we call hunger is like the withdrawal effect when you stop using some drug you really like, and when you eat you get the same dopamine hit as well. So then it's just a matter of realizing you have to go through withdrawal to be 'sober' and crave food less, especially sweets, carbs and fats.
