> Yes, it does. That's why people eat: to alleviate hunger. You may will power your way to a caloric deficit for some months, maybe a couple of years, but eventually hunger will win and you will eat until satiety.

If this is the premise of your argument, it is flawed.

You have no idea if “eventually” happens to everyone. You’re making a wildly strange assumption.

Have you tried? Are you willing to try? How many people do you know that intentionally remain hungry every day for more than a couple of years, while otherwise having free access to food?

Any weight loss advice that does not adequately address hunger and satiety is naive to the point of ridicule. And any person who advises others to address their weight by telling them to be hungry in perpetuity hasn't given much thought to what they are asking for.

Yeah. Turns out when you eat less your stomach shrinks and you need less food to feel satiated. What are you on about? You’re severely incorrect.
