The point referred to in the question is the set point, which is the level of fat stores that the body strives to maintain. When fat stores fall below the set point, the body signals hunger to the hypothalamus, which triggers the hunger drive. Sham feeding refers to the consumption of food without actually swallowing it, while satiety refers to a feeling of fullness or satisfaction. High fat ratio is not relevant to the question.
