I find it interesting when people tell others how they feel. Doctors gaslighting patients is very real.
My SIL was in labor but was turned away. She gave birth on a couch. The hospital billed her anyway. My husband was told Lipitor couldn't cause a heart attack or diabetes. My niece was told her son just had an ear infection, but it was a brain tumor. She took him to the ER anyway.
Lots of doctors are full of it.

I don't know what 'food noise' means to anyone else. But, here's what I see:
(Pre-GLP1): When I was on a mixed-macro diet, hunger hit after 4-5 hours before the next meal. It could become 'hangry'.
On low-carb, hunger was less intense. But, I still had a non-hunger urge to eat.
When fasting, I had another urge. Not like the previous one. I'd suddenly want to watch steak preparation videos, like my subconscious was saying, 'Think about food and eat!'
Different sensations come at different times. 'Hungry' doesn't cover it. What's stuffed vs full vs satiated? What combinations trigger those? 'Food noise' fits there; you're not hungry, but not satisfied.
If a horse is sodium-deficient, it might lick a salt lick. If it had enough sodium, it wouldn't care. Food is engineered and delivered in unnatural combinations, which might mess things up. Vegetables in magnesium-depleted soil...

Truer words were never spoken, friend. My doctor tried to say 20 lbs of weight loss in a month on Sema was 'nothing to be concerned about' even though I was feeling nauseous all the time. I switched doctors! Some of 'em are great, but some are really out of touch with what the latest research suggests.

Don't forget to up your fiber, folks! Constipation is a very real side effect of these meds if you're not mindful.

30% is the current ceiling in published data, which is why the Reta trials got so much attention - the dose-response curve at 9-12mg is where most of that range plays out, so the optimal zone question is the right one to be tracking.
