My experience has been that I get just as hungry as I walk past the smell of cooking food and a plate of food looks just as good. However about halfway through I don’t want to finish and by 3/4 I’m feeling repulsed by the dish. Makes sense if smell is not effected and taste is - the smell draws you in and then the taste doesn’t match.
Thanks for this excellent first-hand account. Fascinating that these GLP-1 drugs trigger a satiety signal in the brain that is expressed as an altered--and demotivating--sense of taste. When some of us overeat, we feel full but keep going because the taste continues to be rewarding. (Then the sound of the spoon scaping the bottom of the ice cream carton triggers shame . . .)
