Hunger originated from a hormone called hypothalamus, which targets receptors in the liver. Even though an average nourished person can survive without food intake for several weeks, people normally begin to feel hungry even after a few hours of food consumption. Hunger pangs normally don't affect the stomach until about 12 to 24 hours after eating, though.
