Best help for "food noise"?

[fattymckee]

My subject has been on tirz over a year, now st max dose and just maintaining. Still has quite a bit of weight to lose but experiences bad cravings and food noise, even at the 15 mg of tirz. Subject states that rhey do feel full faster then they did before starting tirz, but that effect feels like it is wearing off.

What are your recommendations to help with their cravings and food noise?

I would recommend taking careful notes of is being consumed. It might surprise your subject as it did my subject how swapping calories for protein makes the noise stay at bay

Now, if someone would quit pouring fine cask strength whiskey in a cup all the time....

I agree with @BooneDonk that protein satiates real hunger. A protein shake or protein rich meal should take care of hunger.

Addressing food noise and cravings is a nice side effect for some but not the primary indication for these drugs. You can gain weight eating through a gastric bypass and you can eat through these drugs. Maybe your subject needs to busy themselves with a distracting activity. I find that catching up on the forums and in doing so reminding myself I'm medicated helps. I also have a cat that's on my lap 24/7 and disturbing her compounds the guilt of grabbing a boredom snack.

Just my experience......

I started stacking small doses of semaglutide. Cuts food noise and cravings totally.

Tell us more, what doses?

I'm maintaining. I was on 7.5mg tirz but the food noise/ cravings were starting to be miserable and I was suddenly slammed with severe anxiety. Never been officially diagnosed but I have Binge Eating Disorder which I've suffered from since I was 15. I had a month's break (gained 12.8lbs ) then gradually started back on tirz adding small amounts of sema weekly. Now all is stable. I'm on 5mg of tirz and 1 mg of sema. Working really well.

What I would do is micro dose sema with a 3 day offset from the tirz injection. Yes, start with the smallest dose just like they had never taken a glp1 before. Stop increasing the dose as soon as the food noise is controlled.
