I'm taking GLP-1s and it's absolutely reduced my impulsiveness in ways besides food. Not completely, for sure, and being less interested in food actually means more time to spend on other hobbies.

But it's definitely done something to my non-food behaviour, albeit I'm not sure what exactly. It may well be that I was previously trying to satiate my constant desperate hunger for food with other forms of harmful addictive behaviour, and without the hunger, I just don't need that as much. The concept of satisfying one craving with another isn't new, after all.



Sounds like a good case for keeping a detailed diary of emotional state to me.

The effects don't have to be dramatic to be harmful, subtle over time is arguably worse.

I just hope people keep their eyes open, that's all.
