The effect of intermittent fasting on hedonic hunger: a pilot prospective cohort study based on Ramadan intermittent fasting

This study suggests that higher levels of HH may be experienced at the onset of RIF practices; however, over time, individuals appear to adapt, returning to their pre-fasting levels of HH. Within the limited observation period of this study, the influence of RIF-a form of IF-on HH appears to be transient, suggesting that longer-term studies with larger sample sizes are needed to clarify its persistence.
