We get a lot of questions about GLP-1 receptor agonist (like Ozempic), including how they affect “food noise.” We are having a masterclass, Can You Stop the Food Noise, to help, so we want to know how food noise affects you.
What is food noise?
Does this ever happen to you? You’re watching TV, working on your computer, or trying to motivate yourself to start a new task when suddenly, you want to eat something. You ate recently, so you try to ignore it, but the thoughts get louder. You’re still distracted, thinking about what you want to eat and trying to resist it. Soon, there’s a full-scale argument going on in your head!
This is food noise. (Or, as we’ve called it for the last 25+ years, head hunger.)
You might be so used to food noise, you don’t even realize how much it steals from your day-to-day interactions and activities. Not to mention that it often leads to eating more than you need and feeling uncomfortably full.
In preparation for our masterclass about food noise, we want to know more about how it affects you. So, please share your thoughts below:
- Do you struggle with food noise?
- When does it bother you most?
- What kinds of symptoms do you have?
- How does it affect your eating and your life?
Join us for our complimentary masterclass!
Can You Stop the Food Noise masterclass will be held twice; click here to learn more and register for the time that’s convenient for you.

Food noise is my biggest struggle!
Me too!
I feel like I struggle with food noise all the time. When I wake up in the morning, I’m already thinking about what I’m going to eat when I come home from anywhere, I’m already looking for something to put in my mouth. Fortunately, I don’t eat a lot, but I feel like the food noise is in my head so much of the time.
Yes! That is my same exact struggle.
I definitely struggle with food noise. There usually is some kind of trigger, like a commercial, a bag of Cheetos laying on the counter.. and than my mind goes to work convincing me I deserve it.
Yup!
I struggle the most at night before bed. I know that I should not be hungry, but I can’t get my mind to stop thinking about the fact that I feel like I need something to eat in order to relax and get to sleep.
100% Jill!
Just before bed was the hardest time for me too. I averaged some 300 calories of a quick binge for which I got virtually no pleasure and woke up with a bloated stomach. But I did it night after night, until Ozempic helped curb those cravings.
Yes, food noise was a constant battle which is why I went on Ozempic. My weight loss over six months has been slow but who knows how much I might have gained without it. When I started Ozempic my food noise went down a lot, it is back up a bit but it is manageable, i.e., I can resist it- most of the time and when I don’t resist, I eat much less than before.
I struggle when ever I have snacks around mostly. This sounds really crazy but they call me by name. I can’t by snacks to bring home and store once I have opened the package it doesn’t stop calling me till it is all gone
Yes, food noise all the time and can’t get distracted of it or lower it down, result in binge eating almost everyday, it is really my big challenge to the extent I hate myself and it turn to be a self sabotage.
