I've never tried it. Can I ask a follow up question? Do you feel less need of other "wants" as well? money, ambition, power, sex drive? Things in this vein. Sorry if I'm being awkward but I'm genuinely curious.

No, it’s only food-related. Basically you feel hunger less. It’s easier to implement good diet. Obviously you need to eat healthy to get benefits from semiglutide.

  Obviously you dont. Just the reduction of caloric intake and as a result, a reduction in body fat, is gonna lead to health benefits.

    I’m taking it, and it’s still trivial to overeat with calorie-dense food. It’s just easier to control impulse to do so.

      My point is you only need to eat LESS to be healthier if you are overweight. Ofcourse the best results are achieved when actually eating healthy... But still

Can confirm what the other poster said - it only affects the desire for food and food-related items. It is absolutely amazing. Before I was basically always hungry, even right after a big meal that left the stomach physically full, the thought of "eh, maybe more food?" was in the back of my mind. Now it's not there and even a small portion makes me feel full. If anything, the weight loss has made me feel so much better that I have more energy to work on other goals, it definitely hasn't stopped desire for sex or money or success.

I had the same question. Because it could have been that it reduces desires in general, like invoking a slight depression where you just don't care about things, including addictions. Then again, things like depression are likely to increase the desire for dopamine triggers.

Nope, not found that. It's been entirely food-related for me, although I did recently kick my nicotine gum habit without too much issue.
