Jim Katsoulis explains that one major cause of persistent/excessive hunger is micronutrient deficiency: when the body lacks vitamins/minerals it signals hunger, similar to calorie hunger. He argues that modern diets can provide many calories but few micronutrients, so adding micronutrients to the diet will increase satiety throughout the day and night.

One of the main drivers of excessive hunger is a lack of micronutrients. Think about this. If you don't get enough calories into your body, your body sends you the signal to eat more food. But the same thing's happening with nutrients. So if you need nutrients, your body sends you a signal to eat more food, because it thinks that you're in the natural world and eating more food is going to give you more nutrients. But we don't live in the natural world. We live in a world where you can consume lots of calories with virtually no micronutrients. So start adding micronutrients into your diet and you're going to notice that you feel more satisfied throughout the day and night.
