For example if you’re intermittent fasting or water fasting, and the hunger comes and goes in waves as opposed to just getting hungrier and hungrier by each passing hour. How come? I do intermittent fasting and my periods of hunger are brief. You’d think the longer I go without eating, the worse my hunger would get but instead, I just get these brief periods of hunger and they eventually disappear, as if I had already eaten.

From an evolutionary, or a survival standpoint, it’s because being hungry doesn’t pose an immediate threat to life and limb. While starving is a danger, and hunger a primary motivator, it’s not a pain that needs to be as potent as say, a broken bone.
