Why is it that it takes few seconds for our body to decide that it’s had enough water not to be thirsty, but several minutes to recognize that no more food is needed cuz it’s not hungry?

People who are aware of how their own bodies actually feel can normally tell when they’re not hungry anymore really quickly or even when they feel they’re getting full. I’ve never thought, “damn I overate, I should’ve just stopped 5 minutes ago”… I can normally very easily tell when I am going to be full soon. I eat because I’m hungry and because I have to, not because I want to finish a whole dish or because it tastes good.
