[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children) Drugs that reduce your appetite may decrease binge eating? Who would have thought! permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anakin78z@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago Not having an appetite hasn't stopped me from binge eating in the past. I'm guessing it's more about this part: "... potentially influencing brain processes of reward and impulse control". permalink fedilink source parent [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago Binge eating isn't about appetite. While I agree that it isn't surprising the same meds will help with both, it isn't because the glp drugs change appetite. They shift a lot of stuff in the body, and that includes hormonal interactions. That's where the effect is probably coming from, not the appetite/satiety factor permalink fedilink source parent
