I’m sorry, but as one of the rare (decently) fit & nondiabetic people that have taken these drugs I’m going to call out your comment a bit.
While I have no doubt that obese people have gradually made appetite control harder for themselves, the full feeling you get on GLP meds is in no way the way us normal-weight people feel.
I too, could easy eat a whole bag of doritos after some pizza and then decide I want ice cream. I don’t do that because I know it’s an awful idea and so I maybe just have a pickle after the pizza instead.
On GLP-1 medications at a decent dose I don’t know if I could force myself to eat anything after half of my normal serving of pizza.
That’s not the way the rest of us normally are apart from rare exceptions, I assure you.
Yeah but right now we're just arguing about how strong each person's feeling of "I could eat more" is.
Personally, I really like how, on the medication, it's easy to say "nah, I'd better not". Off the medication, it's impossible, as I have to eat whatever is in front of me, or I won't stop thinking about it.
Sure, obviously there's no real way to compare that. I was just pointing out that the way it makes people feel isn't natural - as in, that's not how most skinny people feel either.
I apologize for ruining your day, that wasn't my intention. As I stated in my post I don't doubt that obese people have screwed up that signaling over time. Are your cravings off medication worse than mine? Probably. We'd pretty quickly get in to a "Is your green my green?" type discussion talking about that, which obviously has no conclusion. However, I've seen many, many people repeat something along the lines of "Wow, I guess this is what skinny people feel like all the time!" in reference to these medications. I was just pointing out that it absolutely is not how we feel, and I'm one of the fairly rare people out there that can confirm that.
