Anecdotal sample of one here: since starting the treatment a year ago, I have hardly set foot in a fast food restaurant, and my visits to other food establishments have been reduced by 75% at minimum. Grocery shopping has been more mindful and smaller in size. The impact on my desire or even ability to consume food beyond the base metabolic necessity is real.
- stavros 3y agoWhy is that? For me, it was because I'd get severe symptoms after eating fatty foods.
- jprete 3y agoSemaglutide made me feel more like I was full and simultaneously made me feel less like I was hungry. The stomach slowdown helped as well. I had some of the less desirable side effects of that, and those were really unpleasant but also showed me that I had no real idea when I was full or hungry and wasn’t eating for the right reasons. I’m hoping the insight sticks, at least.
- stavros 3y agoI hope so too, good luck!
- justinclift 3y agoOut of curiosity, do you also drink Yakult or similar? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakult
- joshxyz 3y agomay i ask why?
- justinclift 3y agoSure. Ozempic slows down stomach emptying, so food sits around longer in your stomach before continuing on the rest of the digestive process. That seems like it could allow for some not-real-great bacteria to multiply, in an environment they're happy with. Yakult would potentially head that off / stop those bacteria from doing that.
