Not everything has another shoe to drop.
Getting people to eat more broccoli is almost entirely upside. Sure a handful of people will be allergic or whatever, but on a population level some interventions are just one positive after another, and there's no reason it has to be a deal made with the devil.
- cerved 1y agoWell glp1 doesn't make you want to eat broccoli. Just less in general
- daedrdev 1y agosure but it definitely makes carbs specifically disgusting in my case
- stavros 1y agoI can confirm that. On GLP-1s (when they worked for me, anyway), I'd routinely think "pizza? Bleh, so fatty, I'd really like some chicken breast with roast potatoes instead right now".
- dfc 1y agoYou can confirm that GLP1s make "carbs specifically disgusting" and an example of this reaction is that you would have a desire to eat potatoes?
- stavros 1y agoOh no, you have torn through the flaws in my argument like bullets through paper, however will I live this down? Unless I clearly meant "it makes previously-desirable food undesirable", anyway.
- dfc 1y agoI was not trying to tear your argument down. The comment you replied to was about carbs being specifically disgusting and in my head potatoes are the runner up to bread for classic examples of carbs. I was simply asking about what seemed like a contradiction. I have been looking into GLP1s and have not seen/heard people mention that GLP1 make carbs gross.
- stavros 1y agoI think it varies per person. For me, it didn't specifically make carbs gross, but it did make unhealthy food less palatable. I think that's what the GP was talking about as well, they were just a bit more specific. It really depends on the person, though. They worked for me for a while and don't work now, but I'm a small minority, from what I've heard from people. When they worked, they were great.
- rootusrootus 1y agoActually there is a very real effect on which foods you find appealing and which ones are kind of gross. It’s a thing the food companies have been studying, and their own studies show that people on GLP1s tend to skip the junk food aisle and head towards the produce section instead.
- 01100011 1y agoOddly enough semaglutide is making me crave sugar more. It might be the frequent sensation of having low blood sugar. Idk. It does make me choose more dense meals though since I know I can't eat that much due to delayed gastric emptying. But I have to budget some room for prunes to counteract the constipation. It definitely makes you think about what you eat.
- skissane 1y agoTirzepatide somehow gave me a craving for apples. I used to occasionally eat them, now I eat them every day.
- CalRobert 1y agoI do get a bit gassy if I binge on broccoli…
- Libidinalecon 1y agoIt is really hard to compare broccoli to a powerful, rather new peptide that causes profound behavioral changes. Usually you don't get a free lunch with such a compound.
