I wouldn't argue for a strict equivalence, but research shows (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5073929 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5073929) that people who go on GLP-1 drugs shift their food habits to decrease consumption of calorie-dense processed foods. It's hard to 100% prove this is causal (or that "calorie-dense processed" means low satiety), but it matches widely reported anecdotes (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/magazine/ozempic-junk-food.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/magazine/ozempic-junk-foo...) that GLP-1s cause hyperpalatable junk food to be unappealing. For me personally, I can't even eat a full slice of cake anymore.
- lanfeust6 2y agoI'd hold out for stronger evidence, because my own anecdotal experience is that those on GLP-1 periodically feel sick but otherwise still seek out the same foods they always had. Also they are very much still capable of binging, on days they don't feel particularly sick.
