Incredible, sudden hunger pangs causing me to eat terribly on Portia 28 - has anyone counteracted this?

Side Effects!?

As stated, I'm okay dealing with this OC and it's going into month 2. However, I am used to being able to fast. I can no longer do that because I will suddenly get hungry, and hungry to the point that I "need" to eat and often grab 600 calories in a sitting of whatever junk is around. Case in point, today I ate chicken mcnuggets. I don't eat fast food at all, but I couldn't wait another 10 minutes to get home.

This is obviously the work of ghrelin. I'd like to get back to intermittent fasting but I don't know how.

Has anyone else dealt with this?
