Not really, it takes about ten minutes and then your body realizes you're not going to eat so it switches to economy mode and forgets about hunger for a while. Coffee does the same thing.
It's only if you do this repeatedly for about a day that you'll turn into a raging animal, start breaking furniture and call your wife a whore as you try to solve your hunger.

Intermittent fasting .... it was probably a normal way for us to live as humans hundreds of years ago when food wasn't so freely available like today.
I grew up poor as an Indigenous Canadian with my family in the north. I remember being a kid and just going on breakfast (which was always oatmeal) and lunch with no other meals during the day .... and it was just normal.
You wanted a snack late at night? No, there's nothing to eat, go play with your siblings and go to bed.
And as teens and adults, if we were travelling on the land and moving from place to place for hunting/trapping/fishing, it was normal to go a day without food just to get work done on time.
This story is reflected in the Book of the Ice trilogy by Mark Lawrence, specifically the last book; I thought the perspective of the Arctic characters interesting, but exaggerated.
Though I sympathize with those in that position, it's good to know the book didn't lie.
