Agreed, and if the change has opened a harder question about someone's drinking, that belongs with a service rather than a thread.
Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.
Worth separating that from alcohol, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Reduced interest in alcohol is one of the most consistently reported off-target effects, and the mechanism is plausibly the same reward-salience pathway that quiets food noise. The practical part people get wrong is that tolerance changes: less food in the stomach, faster gastric emptying of liquid relative to solids, and a smaller body mean the same two drinks land considerably harder than they used to.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.
