Does mounjaro make our appetite "normal"?

In r/Mounjaro, the OP (u/Weird-Sea-1142) shared that tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro) eliminated "food noise," letting them experience satiety like a "normal person," and reflected on previously assuming everyone constantly thought about food. The comments resonated strongly: u/OGkateebee's husband finally understood her past struggles, u/MsDragonPogo's lean friend said "now you're finally like me," and u/EnaSaurusRex_1234 said the drug made them "normal again." Others, such as u/ComfortableCake2662, questioned whether this amounts to "increased willpower." On the factual level, tirzepatide is an approved dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist, and its effects on reducing food noise and reshaping hunger signals are established clinical effects. On the speculative level, the interpretation that "the drug lets people with obesity experience a physiological state close to that of non-obese people" is a summary of patients' subjective experiences and has not been directly quantified in research as "returning to normal."
