[quote=Anonymous][quote]And btw I am not the target audience, but am very interested in how this might work. I have a child with a real food compulsion. We have a normal healthy family food dynamic—try not to make thingsb off limits but also strive for whole unprocessed balanced diets with no soda or true junk —-but this child has always been really food and sugar oriented and has a large appetite and high cholesterol and slightly high blood sugar for her age. It’s possible that it’s due to her birth circumstances (iugr baby who was very underweight/growth restricted and did not get adequate nutrition I in womb, which can correlate to lifetime changes in metabolism with higher risk of T2 diabetes, PCOS and other metabolic syndromes.. While I hope she can remain healthy without medication I will be glad to know that the science here is advancing swiftly so she has a better chance of addressing issues.[/quote]

I have a similar kid, although she was 10.5# at birth rather than IUGR. I see the same patterns I had when I was young -- so sugar and carbs driven. We don't buy any soda or junk food but she loves to cook herself lunches with white rice, etc., bake desserts, etc. so unless I declare us a sugar and carb-free household and never buy rice or flour again, it's hopeless. She's also in HS with an open lunch so she can just go buy a rice bowl or whatever.

The amazing thing about semaglutide (and now tirzepatide because I'm taking Mounjaro) is how it's quieted the food obsessions in my head. I just. don't. care. about sweets anymore -- I'm not driven to eat it. I have a bite of chocolate and I'm done. Or I leave the chocolate in the cupboard and don't even think about it. It's truly liberating to be able to have the food monkeys out of my brain.[/quote]
