    My body isn’t subtle in the slightest.

    Any amount of work?

    We’re starving, we’re starving! Says my body, like the cats who have a still almost full bowl of food.

    Stupid meat husk.

      It’s extremely valuable to get “used to” first-world hunger in modern times.

      I used to be the same way. Though after about the first 18 months of “diet and exercise” (self-defined and imposed to a healthy level), I basically stopped caring if I was “hungry”.

      First-world hunger is akin to a baby crying because their stomach happened to growl. If you’re ACTUALLY hungry, you feel insanely drained and even crappy food is magnificent.

      If you even feel a preference about what to eat, you’re not actually hungry! (is the easiest way to exemplify it)

      On top of that, it’s wonderful to train your stomach to be able to go, “oh wait, I’m just empty. I know how to be empty. This is fine.”.

      To put it succinctly: The urge to eat is totally different when you genuinely need the nutrition. After you’re used to it, fast food and other high-energy but low nutrition meals are … shockingly unfulfilling.

      Right? (I know it’s not the same) but come on look at all of this fat you can burn! You’re not hungry, you’re lazy, you know, like I want to be.
