GLP-1 and Appetite: Why Food Noise Changes

How appetite signalling changes during treatment, and why the experience is about biology rather than willpower.

What food noise means

Food noise describes persistent thoughts about eating that can continue even when the body has enough energy. Appetite-regulating medicines can make those signals feel quieter.

A biological signal

This change is not a test of discipline. GLP-1 receptors participate in communication between the gut and brain, helping fullness register more clearly.
