[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a fascinating conversation.

I've never taken GLP-1s, but I have found that regular, strenuous exercise changes how I experience hunger. I find that on days I exercise, I feel hunger only as an acute need and not as background noise (or "food noise").

So if I'm very sedentary, I often spend the day thinking "I could eat." And I snack more and will eat out of bordedom.

But when I exercise, I don't think about food much at all between meals, but then when I get hungry it's like "ok I need to eat NOW." But then I eat and feel full and can go the next few hours not thinking about food at all.

It doesn't matter when in the day I exercise. It's just like my brain is more tuned into my body's needs when I'm exercising regularly, and knows when I need to be fed, instead of just kind of churning food thoughts all day in the background.

I also crave and am satisfied by healthier food when I'm exercising. Like after a workout, I never want potato chips or sweets -- I want a grain bowl or full fat yogurt with fruits and veggies or something. And water. When I'm being sedentary, I crave snack foods and processed foods and soda.[/quote]

I think I'm the complete opposite of you. When I exercise, the food noise becomes extreme. I want to eat all day nonstop. My body basically doesn't want to lose any calories from working out and wants to replace them all.

OP I see the food noise as exactly what the ADHD meds do for you. I've wondered if ADHD meds would help me a lot, but never could get access to them. I used to be so hungry from 2-5pm at work and I struggled to concentrate on work. Now I have no issues with GLP. I just eat lunch and then don't think about food until dinner time. [/quote]
