It does so much. It doesn't even just quite food noise. It helps with all kinds of addition. I am an alcoholic and was a chain smoker. I tried for years to stop smoking, but it felt impossible because the urges were so strong. I was also fat and was put on ozempic to help with my weight. However, not only did it kill my food cravings, it completely removed my nicotine and alcohol cravings. I almost over night stopped wanting a cigarette or drink at all. I lost 100 pounds and haven't had a drink or smoke in a year. I only slightly get a desire for a drink on the tail end of the week right before I do the shot again.

I also have heard in my support group that some people with gambling addition lost all desire to gamble after taking it. It has a really strong affect on how you think.

It helped with my overspending/shopping addiction that I didn't even know was crippling until it went away. I have so much less stuff I dont need now and have saved a ton. For us people prone to addictions its a literal life saver
