There's a difference between calorie restriction and fasting. After a time, hunger disappears during fasting. This also makes sense from the point of view of survival. If we're neurotic, it's hard to focus on hunting for food, which could be somewhat a complex task.

There's also an important aspect of calorie restriction - disruption of those hormones. I imagine the cause of this disruption is what we eat, because it doesn't happen with a fast where we eat nothing.

The point is if there's disruption because of what we eat, and this disruption is more obvious merely because we don't eat enough, then there's still disruption when we do eat enough of whatever we do eat. So when we eat nothing, we remove the disruptor. We still don't know what the disruptor is, but at least we know there is one. A process of elimination should help us find it.
