When I reach a certain level of bodyfat % (around 8%) I get uncontrollable hunger to the point where I cannot live my normal life; I think about food all the time. During this time, am I supposed to eat to satisfaction or use something else to control the hunger if I have more bodyfat to lose? I am doing a practice run-through for a pretend competition to experience how my body reacts.
Thanks!

Thats how cutting works. Constant mind games and being that lean will constantly test you. This is why I never drop below 10%. Not worth it.

You are right, you cant live a normal life, its not normal to be under 10%. Sacrifice IIFYM and eat a bro diet with lots of veggies for satiety.
For me 7-8% means needing to take a nap every day, feeling weak after lifting, and general lack of interest in moving around
