FAQ FRIDAY 💙
“Should I never feel hungry on a GLP-1?”
No. Hunger itself isn’t a sign that your medication isn’t working.
GLP-1-based medications such as semaglutide, and dual GIP/GLP-1 medications such as tirzepatide, can help regulate appetite, increase feelings of fullness and reduce food intake. But the goal isn’t necessarily to never feel hungry again.
Instead, you may notice:
🍽️ Hunger feels more manageable
🧠 Food noise may decrease
💙 Fullness is easier to recognize
🥗 Making intentional food choices feels easier
And remember, your body still needs adequate nutrition even when your appetite is reduced.
If hunger changes significantly or you’re concerned about how your medication is working, talk with your healthcare provider rather than adjusting your dose on your own.
THE GOAL ISN’T ZERO HUNGER. IT’S BETTER APPETITE CONTROL.
