What make one feel hungry?

What make one feel hungry? Is it low glucose alone? Are somethings
else also involved?

I think that sometimes when you think you are hungry you are really just
thirsty.

Yes I have heard this too and often just chuck some water and find the
hunger craving goes away.

Dietary fat is very important for feeling satiated after a meal. It
slows down the absorption of food, especially carbs. A diet low in fat
and high in carbs will not satiate you for very long and within a
couple of hours or even less you will be hungry again. Protein also
makes you feel fuller longer, because it simply takes longer to
digest.

Low blood sugar
Thirst
Fatigue
Low body fat (fat releases hormones, if low you get hungry)
Desire for feelings evoked by food e.g. childhood feelings of comfort,
being loved etc
Boredom or stress
Caffeols (substances in coffee that can make you feel hungry)
Vitamin deficiencies
Mineral deficiencies
Fatty acid deficiencies including secondary deficiencies caused by too
much 'bad fat'.
Gastric juices released, stimulated by sight or smell of food
An empty stomach (stomach distension detectors not firing)
Lack of fat in stomach recently, causing lack of production of 'recently
ate fat' hormones
Various psychoactive drugs such as prozac and cannabis.
Salt deficiency
Malfunctioning hypothalamus causing 'hunger' signals to be generated
e.g. a brain tumour
