Interesting. I always assumed "food noise" was just "extremely strong cravings." That's certainly what it sounds like in e.g. that reddit thread.
I had that for most of my life until I tried keto, and even on keto it wasn't 100% gone all the time as I did keto over nearly a decade, which was probably why I gained 100lbs back lol.
It's been nearly entirely gone since I started the ex150 heavy cream diet.
The virus/mulberry thing is interesting. I think there are also other, different mechanisms besides GLP-1 that could be at play, maybe something something leptin/ghrelin, but who knows.
Is there a test for these viruses that people could do?
Food noise I would say is craving that is mostly felt in the head, and doesn't go away with food. And that's what differs from other forms of craving. One of the other mechanisms might be related to endocannbinoid signaling, because one of the ingredients in mulberry supposedly blocks function of those receptors, reducing appetite. As for a test, there is the "adenovirus-36 antibody test" but it's kind of obscure and hard to get as a normal person
I thought of that ("doesn't go away with food") just as a really strongly broken metabolism. A healthy person would have mild hunger, eat some food, have it go away. A metabolically broken person would have strong cravings, eat a lot of food, cravings barely go away. A super broken person would have extreme cravings ("food noise"), eat a ton, and they would barely budge - because little of the energy eaten makes it to the destination, so the person is still "starving."

Ooh yeah thats true too. I'm gonna write about metabolic feedback in a different article, I'm still working on that one.
