[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen some articles saying because the glp-1 controls insulin, your body is less likely to gain weight. So even if you ate same food on or off glp-1, you will better control your weight with the glp-1. I’m sure studies are coming with more info but I feel like I gain when I come off my glp-1 even when I feel like I’m not eating very much.

I’m not asserting this as fact but rather an interesting theory that I actually think has some merit based only on my personal experience. [/quote]

I can give you my anecdote. I've been a severe binger/compulsive overeater for 20+ years. Tried other medications, tried therapy. Went on tirzepatide and within an hour of the first shot it was like a switch had gone of and I was cured. I didn't have any desire to binge at all for 7-8 months. Then it started creeping in again, and I would binge like 1/10th of how much I used to, 1/10th as infrequently. As the months went on, my desire to binge has come back pretty strongly, and I give into it at least once a week, sometimes 2-3 times a week now. But I'm not gaining weight. Every other time in my adult life, binging the way I am now, the weight piled back on. Now, I'm just maintaining.

Similarly, when I go visit my mom for a week and indulge in all the amazing food she makes and overeat, I don't gain. I'm only 5' tall and a 5 pound gain means a new pant size for me. For my entire adult life, every single time I've visited family or gone on another vacation where I overeat for a week, I couldn't wear the same pants home that I wore on the way there. Now, on a GLP1, my body doesn't change. [/quote]
