Appetite-stimulating peptides while on a GLP-1 seems backwards, right?

I’m 19 weeks into tirzepatide, down 28 lbs, and the main change isn’t willpower—it’s that the snack impulse lost its microphone. So when I see chatter about appetite-boosting peptides, my brain does a systems check and asks: why install a hunger lever in a room I just insulated?

I lift three times a week and track protein, but some days 120g feels like a part-time job. I’m not trying to gain; I’m trying to keep muscle while the scale trends down. Still, curiosity is curiosity.

Has anyone here actually explored the appetite side of peptides, or is this just another rabbit hole with a gym-bro accent?

I’ve been trying to separate stomach hunger from head hunger on this class, because mine got quieter but not gone. I rate both 0–5 a few times a day, plus energy and whether 120g protein felt doable or like a chore.

For me, a true appetite peptide sounds like it’d act on the stomach/energy lane, not the snack narrator. Gentle question: when 120g stalls, is it early fullness, food apathy, or just no interest in chewing?

That distinction would change what I’d even want to fix.
