Okay, this may seem like a stupid question, but one should not assume that everyone perceives hunger in the same way. This is relevant to the issue of an individual's ability to maintain a low calorie diet. It is not a simple matter of willpower, but also perception.
I was about 30 years old when I discovered that I do not perceive hunger the same way most people do. When I get very hungry, my throat, not my stomach, hurts. I had heard the term "hunger pangs" and, until I was about 30, always thought that this referred to pains in the throat.
