Food noise
The persistent, intrusive thoughts about food that GLP-1 medications quiet, and that tend to return after stopping.
Food noise is the everyday term for the constant background chatter about food: cravings, preoccupation, and the mental pull toward eating even when not hungry. GLP-1 receptor agonists notably quiet this noise, which many people describe as the most striking effect of the drugs. When the medication stops, food noise tends to return as appetite signaling rebounds. Managing its return, through protein, sleep, structure, and mindful-eating skills, is a core part of the off-ramp.
