How much did you lose? What is your current food noise?
I really like Mark Lewis's take on YouTube - he's someone who is very fit in general but an injury threw him off and before he knew it, he had gained double digit kilos. This is someone who is motivated but also deals with high food noise.
I deal with low food noise. I am relatively active. I got up to <overweight> pounds slowly and over 8 months was able to lose 40. Even so, I had just one bad month at work and gained 7 pounds without significantly dropping my activity. Just a few meals out and not tracking my calories and I fell off of maintenance quickly. If I resistance train my ability to keep control of my calories falls off quickly because I just get too hungry.
I'd love just a maintenance level just because distraction-level hunger sucks.
- zahlman 1y agoWhat do you mean by "food noise"?
- anon291 1y agoBags of rubbish calories lying all around us is what I assume. I have stopped eating outside of defined times to cut down on this.

- ebiester 1y agoHow much of your active attention is tracking on your hunger signals. If I can't focus on my current task because I'm too hungry, that's food noise. If I can't get to sleep and am tossing and turning because I am too hungry, that's food noise. If all I can think about is a doughnut, or even if I'm chomping on raw broccoli and hating myself because it's just making me hungrier, that's food noise.
- Sohcahtoa82 1y agoHuh...if that's what food noise is, then I must be at a 24/7 rock concert.
- ebiester 1y agoYou are likely a prime candidate for one of these drugs then. Are you considering it?
- Sohcahtoa82 1y agoI am. I need to get a new primary care provider though, as my previous one moved, and I've just been insanely lazy about it.

- zahlman 1y agoOh. I guess the concept isn't intuitive for me because, if anything, I experience the opposite of that. I can focus on a task for hours before suddenly realizing how hungry I am. (If only I had better control over which task I focus on....)
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoi used to be like that and i would love to be able to return to that. i'm not sure how i lost it.
