The best way that I can describe what Semaglutide has done for me is that I feel like almost nothing in my life has changed (other than being down 45lbs, suddenly having normalized liver enzyme levels and blood pressure.) Before starting it, I generally ate until I was satiated, almost never over full. From time to time I'd maintain a caloric deficit, but it meant a large part of my attention was consumed, day and night, by a nagging distraction of food.<p>Today, I still just eat a normal diet until I'm satiated - but 1/3 of the food is left on the plate. I have a little less of an interest in alcohol and coffee, but other than that it's like nothing has changed.<p>My point is that there's still a common sentiment that these drugs are some sort of a shortcut for people who want the ability to over-indulge, when in reality that couldn't be further from the truth.<p>I think what I feel like on a GLP-1 is what most people feel like without one. If you want to know what I feel like without a GLP-1, try not eating until your mind is constantly nagging you to do so - then try staying like that forever. That's what a lot of people propose to anyone who has a problem with their weight.
