I noticed this right away when I was fasting occasionally. I couldn't remember the last time I felt hungry! And after a bit, it was easy to differentiate "Primed to eat" from "Actually hungry", as well. We're creatures of habit.

Part of the reason I do ramadan as a non-muslim. There's something powerful in restricting your flesh for a period of time every year to reset things.
