Cravings

[Laf90]

Hi all I am seriously considering signing up to the shemed offer. I've been looking at it for a while but just can't seem to take the plunge ( worried it won't work for me and then I'll be stuck in a 12 month contract but I can't really afford all the other prices). Anyway I'm really curious about how it's affected people's cravings? I really struggle with sweet cravings and could easily graze on chocolate bars/biscuits throughout the day without being particularly hungry so I'm wondering if you still feel the urge/crave sweet things or if it's diminished since starting? Do you still eat the sweet stuff but just less of it?

I’ve had one lindt in over 3 months, and I was the same, I could eat and eat chocolate, I’ve no desire for it now, at all,

I don't know what that deal is and I've never heard of it but I wouldn't sign up to anything at all. I'm with Bolt pharmacy and I just pay each month. If I wanted to and could be bothered shopping around I could do that.

It's got rid of all cravings for me. I was drinking wine every night, eating peanuts every night, eating chocolate every day. I found certain things so hard to resist. I never give them a second thought now. For example I can get a loaf of really nice bread and stick it in the freezer and just have one slice a day. That would've been impossible before! And when it runs out it doesn't bother me and I'd happily have something that I wasn't as keen on.

Shemed is £99 a month regardless of dosage but your locked in for 12 months

Thanks for this, my problem is I can eat and eat without actually being hungry so this is really reassuring

If you can go a week without sugar I promise you your cravings will reduce. Having a sweet tooth I stopped eat of anything with prosessed sugar and after a few days the desire got significantly less and now I don't crave it at all.

Mounjaro really does kill your sugar cravings. It's amazing. It also kills your carb cravings (as they are basically sugar cravings in disguise). Even now with less appetite suppression I still don't crave sugar and if I do eat something sweet I can't eat much of it.

OP if you're considering Shemed, there are threads here with posters who've signed up with them. You can check them out and ask more questions there about Shemed in particular.

You are going to have to pay £49 upfront for blood tests and £99 for the first pen. I would suggest trying medexpress or one of the others doing a discount as you will get the first one cheaper than the start up with shemed. It will also be much faster to get started. The only problem is once you realise it does remove these cravings you may not want to come off it for however long you need to to start with shemed.

Basically as a trial for one pen it's cheaper elsewhere - no commitment. Then take it from there.

I've gone from 15 stone to 9 and a half as of today and I still eat sweets and chocolates.

The difference for me is I can now moderate myself - although I'm very aware that this is the MJ doing its thing and not me suddenly having an entire personality change!

So before I eat an entire box of chocolates over a day for example. Now, I'll take 2 and they'll be it for the day or even a couple of days.

I used to eat crisps every day - sometimes 3 bags.

I started on the WLI a month ago and have not eaten any crisps.

Cravings have completely gone, including chocolate.

MJ has completely stopped my sweet cravings. Before I could eat chocolate all day and get through a pack of biscuits easily. Now I actively dislike sweet stuff. Can't even eat baked beans any more as they taste horribly sweet.
