[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife started on semaglutide a couple of months ago. When the "food noise" went away, she was astounded. Kind of a "this is how it works for other people?!?" perspective.

Yes I think this is common. It’s definitely how I feel. [/quote]

Like I would say if you imagine you’re super hungry and have been working in a room all day. A pizza arrives. You’re ravenous for the first slice right? But less hungry for the third one, especially if you wait for a while.

I kind of understood that, like in the way a psychopath understands empathy. But actually I’ve always wanted more pizza the same amount. Ozempic makes me not want the second piece nearly as much as the first one. I can just think rationally about whether I need it, nutritionally, and make a choice without feeling like I’m holding back the tide. It’s like a miracle. [/quote]

Thank you for explaining this!  I was confused about food nose because I do think about food a good deal — when I’m going to eat next what, what I have in my kitchen, what meals I want to make/eat in the next week.  But I’m definitely the second scenario with the pizza — the first one is amazing but I’m not so hungry for slices two and three.  This is a really clear explanation to me, a naturally healthy weight person (I can’t say skinny b/c I live at the upper end of healthy but I stay there without any especial effort on my part).[/quote]
