What Is Food Noise? And Can Weight-Loss Drugs Like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro Help Silence It?
Oprah Winfrey is opening up about her experience using weight-loss drugs to silence "food noise."
What is 'food noise?'
Food noise refers to "constant and persistent thoughts" about food, "to the point of feeling as if [subjects'] lives revolved around food," according to research published in the academic journal Nutrients. Examples of food noise include checking food delivery apps multiple times per day and constantly thinking about the next meal. The phenomenon can contribute to patterns overeating and emotional eating, according to the researchers.
Why does Ozempic stop food noise?
Medications like Ozempic delay gastric emptying, a.k.a. the process by which food is moved out of the stomach, per Health. They also may help people feel satiated for longer. Both of these factors can contribute to a "silencing" of food noise.
What medications are used for food noise?
Semaglutides like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus can help get rid of food noise, per Health.
Additionally, tirzepatides—a similar drug class that may be better known by brand names like Mounjaro and Zepbound—can also help people feel fuller for longer, according to Mir Ali, MD, bariatric surgeon and medical director of MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California. Both semaglutides and tirzepatides work for weight loss.
