Good point. Intense and/or frequent hunger is definitely a feature of diets heavy in carbohydrates.

Becoming fat-adapted either through carnivore or keto flips this dynamic. When you shift to a high protein or high-fat diet, your body learns to efficiently burn fat. This shift changes how the hunger signals works.

I remember the first time after a week of going high protein and fasting, for the first time in my life, feeling an empty stomach without feeling hunger. Pretty empowering shit.
