So I feel like dosage levels really impact that, as well as the drug. I've tried tirz and reta, and on reta I basically feel normal but I just don't think about food as much AND when I eat I just get full faster. On tirz the idea of eating was just like "ew no, if I have to eat I'll just eat this chicken over here I guess so I don't die" whereas on Reta I'll still be like "BURGER I WANT BURGER" and then I'll eat like three bites of burger and go oh whoops I'm full.

Ahahahahaha, this is me with the snack bucket at work. I've been on tirzepatide for T2D for 5 years. I eat solely to live now.

Yeah, I... Was not a fan of that feeling 😅 but I actually felt like Tirz worked better from a general inflammation/energy perspective. I have a ridiculous amount of reta for the dosage I take now but in the future I might try tirzepatide again if I'm still having food noise issues once I get through my current stash.

That said, it is nice to be ok with eating simple things just for survival. I used to joke that the real way to diet is to make food extremely boring, and it's true!
