Basically as the title says. If I’m already obese right, why does my stomach still feel hungry when it has “food at home” aka an excess stored up as fat. Why would it not just utilize the energy that is already there and then when it gets to a certain body fat percentage become hungry again at that point? Why does the body just continue to store up fat to an uncomfortable and unhealthy point and keeps asking for more food when there is already so much available to it?
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your responses. There are lots of great explanations and viewpoints here 😊.

It takes about 3 days of no food intake for your body to switch to burning down your fat for food. You would start losing about 1kg a day, it requires a lot of willpower, a lot of water and electrolytes. I did a 5 day water fast once and the first two days were the worst. Day 3,4 and 5 I never felt hunger and mentally I never felt better. Of course, you shouldn’t just stop eating and see how long you go, everything over 7 days of fasting should be tracked with a doctor.
