Good inspiration to detach from the world and attach to the Divine
Food is a problem for me. I don't always eat frequently, but I often struggle to stop once I've begun.
I can't listen to my appetite, because it messes with my brain and says I'm always hungry... I have to stop and ask if it makes sense for me to be hungry... and then act accordingly.
I'm the opposite. I get "busy" and "forget" to eat, despite how hungry I get. I can roll without food for quite a long period of time compared to most people. Growing up I very frequently skipped breakfast, and barely touched lunch.
My wife has problems with the recognizing if she is actually hungry or not (past eating disorder).
You sound like Sam.
I don't really like to eat breakfast, but I acknowledge that forcing myself sometimes prevents binge eating later on.
I think I may have some disorder eating patterns myself.

In an effort to lose weight, I didn’t eat anything on Wednesdays, every week for a month. So normal eating till Tuesday night, then just water till breakfast on Thursday.
The first 2 times, it was grueling, but then it became just another Wednesday.
Thursday mornings were truly inspirational, in that I had lived over 45 years without a single day of deprivation, and that which I had assumed would be nearly impossible, became just…..meh. I have lived a fortunate/blessed/lucky life, and have taken such for granted.
I should restart that, till it’s habit.

Without food, day to day and a half. Without fresh food, several months, which got a little impactful in terms of health.

Only that cannibalism may lead to Kúru (a fatal prion disease) which was common among Fore people of Papua New Guinea due to funerary cannibalism. Well, no one would care about such 'aghories' (Aghore does not necessarily include cannibalism).
I can listen to my stomach. For fried fare, I used to disregard it.

That is true it does not always include cannibalism. And yes, that is why it's not socially acceptable I think. Sickness is a good deterrent.
Never went very long without eating anything but did go a while with very little. Less than 800 calories per day type stuff. 0/10, do not recommend.
Met a cannibal (claimed he was a reformed cannibal) when I was living in PNG.
I was about to start doing this, but based on your feedback I have replaced it with an all-you-can-eat-buffet instead. #winning

We have an adage "khāyā so pāyā' (what you eat is really what you get, - all the rest is but untruth).
Of course, times have changed, but it is always good to be careful.
