[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why, after being on glp for a few months, doesn’t your body retrain itself to stop the food noise. If addicts can stop craving nicotine, alcohol or other drugs after being off them a while, why can’t it be the same with food? 
And do glps switch your metabolism or do they simply cause you to eat less. For example, will I lose the same amount of weight if I eat 1200 calories with and without taking meds.[/quote]

Do true addicts ever really stop craving? Some think about it for the rest of their lives even after recovery and it's a daily struggle.

I think OP described it correctly. People experience food noise in different ways, but for me it was like an addiction - thinking about it constantly and wondering when I could get it next, even when I wasn't hungry. Like a dopamine hit. The drug has mostly stopped that, especially in the first few days after taking it, and it's amazing. It also makes me less hungry - which is a separate thing but also helpful. But it doesn't stop hunger completely, which is obviously a good thing.

There has also been a lot of anecdotal evidence and studies showing that other addicts could be helped by this kind of medicine. Again it is anecdotal, but I barely drink at all anymore and I used to drink a good amount. I didn't even realize it until a few months in. [/quote]
