So much is about what is causing the behavior I would expect. GLP-1s don't change the way you think so much as breaking some of the trigger mechanisms.

Are you doing the action because you want to do it, or because your body is responding to that mild trigger that occurs, but your pavlonian response is so strong you can't differentiate.

The thing is, those trigger mechanisms break after weeks without doing them, whereas it is very hard to break them normally without some more extreme measure.

this is baseless speculation.

there are GLP-1 receptors on neurons, the drugs cross the blood-brain barrier, they are active in reward centers.

these drugs directly affect the behavior of neurons, it's not some chain of effects that result in behavior change
