It frustrates the heck out of people, but it's a survival mechanism that I'm sure has kept human beings from going extinct several times.
Good point, and I've had this happen before. A nutritionist helped me set up my current "diet" but I am thinking that 1,500 calories just isn't enough for me at my current activity level. I am NOT hungry, but a high-protein diet does help with hunger pangs...
