Dieting doesn't necessarily means to starve and feel hungry all the time, but becoming hungry is still very likely no matter which kind of diet you take. So what causes you to become hungry? When your body runs out of calories from the food you eat, you will get hungry. It's your body's way of telling you, that you have used up the energy from your food.

Anyway, if you want to lose weight you have to cut-down calories from your diet which is mostly carbohydrates, fats and it will definitely make you hungry which is not an easy thing for anyone of us.
