Yes. But it doesn't matter. Doesn't mean you have to eat just because you're hungry.

I have a calorie hack. I eat whole apples after my meals. Including the cores. I get extremely full to the point I dont wanna eat anymore. And I still lose weight. Somehow the Apple core are extrenely satiating

Is it enough being hungry for couple hours or I should be hungry for a whole day?
Depends entirely on why you aren't eating and what your objective is. Intermittent fasting is the most optimal framework in my experience, you just need to make sure you get enough calories in during those meals. Your body will adapt to fat storage, most people by default are sugar adapted. Fat storage is the natural energy house. Fat = 9/kcal/gram. Sugar/carbs = 4/kcal/gram

I just want to get to 12-15%. Im rn 19-22%
I mean, how fast do you want to reach it? It is all achievable, just cut off ALL carbohydrates so that your body activates glyconeogensis, gluconeogensis provides the small amount of glucose necessary for brain and organ function. That alone will allow you to stay in ketosis longer without needing to ingest dietary carbohydrates, which would otherwise spike insulin (leading to immense weight gain) and the halting of fat loss. If you want more information just let me know, I have lost weight through only ingesting meat.

Just remember that for the entire human existence we have never had "stores" or unlimited food access. We're hunter gatherers by nature, so give that a thought.

So just getting enough protein and being hungry for around 3 hours is enough?

Two months is more than enough, first of all, I would recommend you to prioritize protein for satiety and muscle: so and so, aim for 0.7-1g of protein per pound of your target weight. High protein intake is going to increase energy expenditure through the "thermic effect of food" (digesting protein burns about 20-30% of its own calories) and triggers the INTESTINAL version of gluconeogensis, which is going to send fullness signals to your brain *this is the reason why YOU feel hungry.. you are eating bitch slop)

Anyway, i would recommend you rotate fat ratios.

So and so, start Carnivore on a high-fat cut like ribeye or 80/20 ground beef to adapt to ketosis.
*however, to push to the 12-15% range you may need to incoroprate leaner days or cuts *like sirloin, venison, or bison* in order to force your body to tap into its own stored adipose tissue rather than just burning the fat that you eat :)*


(edit: You also need to incorporate intermittent fasting: once your body is fat adapted, hunger is naturally going to decrease. implementing a 16:8 or a 20:4 eating window can help lower baseline insulin further, making it SO MUCH MORE EASIER for the body to access stubborn fat stores. To ensure that the weight you lose is fat and not muscle YOU MUST perform resistance training 3-5 times a week. Muscle is metabolically active and helps maintain your resting metabolic rate as you get leaner)
