It takes a shift of mindset.
In my experiment with alternating day fasting, I was surprised how quickly I was able to look forward to a meal that was 18 hours away.
Was I interested in eating sooner? Yes. But you learn quickly the difference between hunger as desire and hunger as need. 99% of what we feel in our lives wrt food is hunger as desire.
Caloric restriction is a requirement of sustainable weight loss, there are no weird hacks around it.
