How to Stop Food Noise: The EverLean Guide to Mindful Eating on GLP-1s
If you’ve struggled with your weight, you know "Food Noise." It’s that intrusive, constant mental chatter—asking what’s for lunch while you’re still eating breakfast, or the magnetic pull of the fridge at 9:00 PM.
The Chemical Silence The most profound effect of medications like Mounjaro and Wegovy isn't just a suppressed appetite; it’s the silencing of that noise. For many, it’s the first time in their lives they feel "normal" around food.
Don’t Just Enjoy the Silence—Use It. The danger of GLP-1 medications is that if you don't build new skills while the noise is quiet, the noise will feel deafening if you ever step down your dose. Here is the EverLean strategy for mindful eating during treatment:
The 20-Second Pause: Before your first bite, wait 20 seconds. Check in with your "Head Hunger" vs. "Stomach Hunger."
Identity-Based Eating: Instead of asking "What can I eat?", ask "What would a person who maintains a healthy weight eat right now?"
Volume vs. Density: Use the medication’s support to pivot toward high-protein, nutrient-dense foods that support muscle retention.
Quietening the noise is the medicine’s job. Designing the life that follows is ours.
