how does hunger manifest in you?

When I'm trying to diet I adopt this habit where I don't eat until my stomach grumbles. But lately I've been noticing that the occasional drowsiness/ crappy feeling I get lines up exactly with when I get to the grumbly stomach state. Usually I feel tired, and my vision and focus feels....less sharp? Brain fog is how I would explain it. A little bit after eating I feel better. I'm wondering now if maybe this is a mild blood sugar crash, or perhaps I'm letting myself get too hungry? Today I felt like this for a bit after the gym on an empty stomach. I wasn't dizzy or experiencing a fast heart rate or anything like that, just tied and brain foggy.

Helpful info: I've been eating mostly paleo for the past two weeks (and liking it) but this past weekend I moved and had several "goodbye" meals, etc and did not eat paleo at all (but did have the most amazing fried chicken of my life.) It has crossed my mind that this feeling might have something to do with going back to wheat and dairy in a major way after being off it for a while. My stomach has definitely rebelled about it!

Thoughts?

Hunger is manifest after the correct incantation is spoken in Lapine, as you are standing over the arcane sigil drawn in the blood of the virgin rabbit.
