Since beginning GLP, my craving for potato chips has vanished entirely.
In the past, I would go through chips in enormous quantities.
Fortunately, my appetite for alcohol remains unchanged
There was a time when I'd have some chocolate every evening after my meal, but these days it doesn't really appeal to me.
As for you, my appetite for alcohol hasn't gone anywhere (and right now it's where most of my carbs come from)
Carbs are almost nonexistent, and calories stay quite low.
After a bender, my weight doesn't go up—actually, I tend to lose 1 or 2 lbs

My guess is we'll see this pattern spread further. Companies making food have noticed that folks on GLP 1 care less about flavor and more about packing in protein and nutrients. According to what's written in those pieces, these manufacturers aim to create fresh items targeting that audience. Yet up to now, all they appear to do is toss in a bit of protein powder, possibly shrink the serving size, and push out the same heavily processed junk. After that, they lean on flashy promotional language and count on pulling the wool over customers' eyes.amosmylove said:
At my local Walmart, I spotted a single-serve frozen dinner with a 'Glp-1 friendly!' sticker on it, which I found pretty absurd. The kicker? The ingredient list was still garbage. Plus, for a meal built around chicken, it packed just 30g of protein. You can bet some folks will spot that label and grab them thinking they're making a healthy choice.
In any case, vodka with club soda has never caused me to put on weight.woundcarping said:

A gram of alcohol contains 7 calories. With 14g in a standard drink, that's 98 calories coming just from the alcohol.
Shouldn't your liver have a say in that?Johnny D said:

So I'll keep doing what works for me
Diesel costs climb, and grocery bills follow suit. American cattle numbers have sunk to a multi-decade low. Suicide rates among farmers are far higher than average. There's more I could mention, yet price gouging by big agriculture isn't the whole story. Even so, big ag drove the family farmer out of existence.
Could the economy and inflation be playing a role too? My thought was that fast food sales might climb, because on GLP's people can eat larger amounts of less healthy food and still shed weight.Johnny D said:
I'm guessing the stats are the same in North-America. Maybe even more so??
People are simply eating and snacking less, which causes food profits to drop significantly.
Will get worse as well as more and more people start using GLP's.

Could it be that both factors are at play?
I had been waiting to see when folks would finally catch on, drop the junk food and go for whole foods that don't come in packaging. Seems like that shift is underway now. I've gone that route with my own eating as well.Johnny D said:
