i forget to eat and i regret to inform you we are not immune to this

The secret is to smoke weed every day. Once you've built up a sizable tolerance, the only time you'll get hungry is when you have cannabis in your system. Trust me, it works.

I very often only remember to eat when I start feeling hyperglycemic.

It helps when you realize you won't make it to retirement age with enough dough and also can't afford anything even now. Hope this helps!

It varies so much from day to day, if I even notice that I skipped a meal (not breakfast, mkay? I literally can't skip breakfast). Sometimes I'm in the zone and don't notice that lunch time was like 4 hours ago. Other days I can get really irritated that I haven't had lunch yet and it's another hour until I'm supposed to take that lunch break.

Becoming a toxic person for not taking care of meal timing is despicable

No one wants to hear it, I suspect, but eating very low carb is how this is done.

No sugar and no grains for one month and the cravings are gone. You can easily go 48 hours on water alone, if you need or want to.

What nearly everyone calls hunger is actually cravings for carbs. True hunger is painful and consumes every thought. Likely no one you've ever met has been truly hungry.

You probably think no one wants to hear it when they disagree, but more likely what works for you doesn't work for everyone. As the person replying to you exemplified. There isn't a one trick for everyone in these kinda of things, and anyone who claims there is is either ignorant or scamming.

Or most people haven't tried it and are incredulous that it works and can't imagine life without the food noise and cravings

Easy way to prove it; show us the peer reviewed scientific studies. There's been times when almost everyone has been wrong, and what proved it was the scientific method.

I'm not familiar with much research on food noise as a topic by itself.

However you may find this paper on the power of sugar addiction in rats Intense Sweetness Surpasses Cocaine Reward - 2007

Our findings clearly demonstrate that intense sweetness can surpass cocaine reward, even in drug-sensitized and -addicted individuals. We speculate that the addictive potential of intense sweetness results from an inborn hypersensitivity to sweet tastants. In most mammals, including rats and humans, sweet receptors evolved in ancestral environments poor in sugars and are thus not adapted to high concentrations of sweet tastants. The supranormal stimulation of these receptors by sugar-rich diets, such as those now widely available in modern societies, would generate a supranormal reward signal in the brain, with the potential to override self-control mechanisms and thus to lead to addiction.

An interesting flaw with the sugar studies with rats is that it required limiting the amount of sugar available. They did act like addicts when the sugar was presented to them intermittently then taken away, but when they had full free access to it, they no longer binged on it and didn't have addictive traits. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4361030/#%3A%7E%3Atext=Rats+with+ad+libitum+access%2Cand+by+avidity+for+alcohol.

Because of this, some suggest the studies are actually arguments against hyper limited diets, instead of in support. Part of an argument on that is that it's harder for us keep up something we dislike for a long period of time, whereas making smaller changes we can adapt to keeps our enjoyment and can still change behavior over time.

Anecdotal: I stopped drinking soda, cut down on sweets and juice etc a while ago(10-15 years?). I still have sweets from time to time, but the general feeling is I feel many things are too sweet, and I prefer lighter sweetness. I still like it somewhat, but soda tastes like syrup, and I generally just feel like less, but I don't exclude it completely or anything.
