This is new info for me. Personally I have never been happier that food no longer runs my life literally like a demon or something. I now use food for fuel for the first time in my life. I hope it stays this way! 🙏🙏

I’m full blooded Italian. You wanna talk about a shocker. We never knew portion control. My whole life has revolved around food. BUT….Since I’m 65 years old now it’s ok. I think I’ve had enough of everything. I feel SO MUCH BETTER‼️Mounjaro is a life saver

I am on the highest dose of Ozempic now. In all honesty, I still get hungry and think about food a couple of times a day. Just make sure I make good choices during those times. I do give in to some treats, but keep it at one serving. I can see how people can get depressed. This was an excellent video!! Thank you!

Ali I find as with any compulsion this is such a difficult one. When you want to get sober you delete alcohol, gambling stay out of the casino, smoking don’t buy them. WEEE still need to EAT though, it is so hard relearning to do that it’s trial and error because it is so personal in what works for each of us! Not to say the others are easy but having clearly defined guidelines does help.

Thank you for keeping it individualistic in conquering another hurdle to better health and eventually joy. Depression can be real with and without diet challenges. I am learning there’s more to life than food. I just have to find joy in a habit that is healthy to take its place. I couldn’t do it with the noise! Food was a great friend for all the wrong reasons but now boundaries will enable me to use food as a crutch/joy in a better way. That’s the old me-food excited-now I am happy I am exercising and getting healthier in my life choices. Thanks Allie. I will be proud of my accomplishments on Mounjaro!

Friday I will move up from .5 to 1mg of ozempic. I'm hoping the increase will finally quiet the food noise. I personally can't imagine missing the noise. I want to think of food as fuel, only fuel for a while. That'll make me happy. And then yes, eventually getting excited about food again, but with control. I cannot wait to be where you are, 70 lbs down and slaying the demons! You might not know it, but YOU are therapy and great inspiration. Thank you always.

Apparently you just described what I went through recently without even realizing it. Definately talk to your dr if you are feeling off/not your norm. If you had asked me if i had food noise i would have said no because it didn't effect me the ways folk typically describe it. I loved cooking for others. It was one of my joys. I didnt realize how deeply it hit to not be doing that until I talked with my dr after my recent blah moment. All the tips you suggested were suggested to me. No one thing works but eventually you find something that clicks. Right now exercise for the endorphins is where it's at. Thanks for the video because going through it I did not connect the blahs with food joy but it was, my dr said the same things you did. You hit the nail on the head. It's getting better but in the midst of it, it felt like hell.

I used a stationary bike prior to and after my knee replacement. Made a huge difference in recovery and pain relief. Started out at only 5 minutes and would ride 3x a day. Amazon had one for under $75 that was easy to set up and works great

Therapy being required is a reach. Some people are lazy and gluttonous. Some people have a bad year and gained some weight. Me personally I work at night. It takes a toll on my body i don’t sleep or eat well. I didn’t work out. I loved to drink soda and take out. I don’t need therapy to tell me that. When someone say that they don’t gave the desire to eat their favorite meal. What is that meal? A whole pizza? I love 3-4 slices of a lg pizza. But now I don’t. Am I depressed from it? No. Unfortunately words mean too many things these days.

@@dawnkifer9712 im not being snide. Im responding to the statement that therapy should be required to take these meds. Just because i don’t agree doesn’t mean im not showing grace. If you need therapy then you should get it. That should be up to you. Do it have to be a yes man to show grace?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ali has a response headed your way. It’s inflammatory to call people “lazy and gluttonous.” That’s not their fundamental character when they are overeating and sedentary. People end up metabolically busted (T2D, prediabetic, PCOS, gut issues) and become unable to lose weight or exercise. Food cravings become uncontrollable. Many people get a dopamine response from certain foods. Sugar is a drug. The dopamine boasts are a means of self-soothing. Losing that response can definitely drive people into depression. It takes time to learn new ways of fueling long term happiness like through exercise or hobbies or other activities than eating. It’s not a weakness to need therapy.

@@lmt1701 let’s try to read to understand and not to react. I never said therapy was for the weak. I said not everyone on a glp1 needs therapy. There are people online making money being a glutton. And many people are lazy even skinny people. I was extremely lazy, don’t forget to read the I statement. Now i get up and take a walk. I also was very greedy. Im not saying anything crazy here.
