I was listening to podcasts today and got to the one on ketones. The concept of actual hunger vs. psychological hunger was discussed. Of course, I have always known that as human beings, we have a tendency to eat when we are not hungry, especially here in the first world where there is so much readily available food within arm’s reach. Since I have begun this way of eating, actually, I find that I am not hungry anywhere near as often as I used to be and I’m ok with that. After listening to the podcast, all the sudden I convinced myself I was hungry. (I wasn’t, I was at work and BORED). But I felt compelled anyway. I’ve had spoonfuls of whipping cream, and far too much chicken salad and Parmesan crisps. It’s amazing the power of the mind, as I observ it in myself. I appreciate the insight and recognize with clarity the difference between my actual hunger and psychological hunger, which I’m sure has caused me to eat when I wasn’t hungry far too frequently in my life. Tomorrow is a new day, and I guess I should follow my own advice and keto on! 
Psychological hunger
Yup. We actually have many kinds of hunger. Hunger, in fact, is both physiological and psychological. Appetite I often think of as psychological. Satiety I think of as biochemical. I often confused these for years. True hunger is extremely nuanced, and I think our modern diets made us lose track of it some time ago.
Fasting is what helped me get control of my hunger. Started with IF, worked up to extended. A couple months ago, did my longest ever…which was 33 days. If you would have told me a couple years ago that I would accomplish 33 consecutive days, I would have thought you were crazy.
I always confuse thirst with hunger… Sometimes if you drink a bit of water that feeling just goes away
This is me ^^ – I do this way too much. But when I eat fat-laden foods (pork rinds) it seems to satiate enough to banish the cravings. Dunno how to banish the guilt, though. 
Might I suggest crushing some pork rinds into a fine powder and then snorting a line of them. Do that once and everything else will seem downright wholesome. 
I am looking forward to fasting as soon as I get a true grasp of all this.
Hunger can also be a habit. I’ve just been into the kitchen to cook my evening meal - it’s that time of day here.
I had a drink of water before I started, all of a sudden I’m not hungry and eating can wait
It’s even worse when you work from home…
I often have found myself in front of the fridge and wondering, “How did I get here?”
Now I will often try water, then if that doesn’t work, grab some 0 carb cheese or a 0 carb pepperoni stick. Can’t complain too much as I’m down about 40 pounds in 3 months, just haven’t gotten the burst of energy that everyone talks about though.
I used to be "bored’ and would raid the carb cupboard.

Well, there ya go. You’ve had so much energy, you’re beginning to teleport.
