Taste for food is gone

[Robo423]

Haven’t really enjoyed eating anything since I thought of Monteiro I appear to be hungry, but when I go to eat, I can’t finish what I thought I wanted to eat. It doesn’t really taste good to me even my favorite things.I’m

Isn’t that the whole point?

@Robo423 I so sympathise with you. Not a drug, but simply old age, has seemingly robed me of my appetite.

I really miss being able to savour my food, apart from the one of two mouthfuls. I salute those of you that choose the drug for health re asons, I really do. I wouldn't choose it, so I think you are really brave to do so.

I don't know how long you've been on Mounjaro, but that can wear off and you are left with the ability to stop eating when you're full but also enjoy food. So it's likely not to be like this for the whole timeframe of you losing weight.

And I agree, I was quite glad to lose the taste for some of my favourite foods as they were what contributed to me being obese!

Yep, that’s what it does.

Ohh I think I couldn't cope with that,

I'm doing ok-ish controlling my weight now but I LOVE and am
Driven by loving food...?

It's definitely had an impact on my enjoyment of food. There were certain foods that I'd literally be salivating over eating before and now I barely get any enjoyment from them. Still....I've lost nearly 4 stone so I'm happy to compromise.

I had this at the start, and almost felt disgusted by food. But after a few months it went away and I enjoy food and snacks now

I am a fair few months in and have no desire for any particular food at all, though I do have hunger. I am hungry but nothing ever takes my fancy IYSWIM. I love being like this personally, it's fucking liberating after years of constantly thinking about food! I feel like a badass driving past M&S Food and not caring to go in and 'get some bits for later' 💰👌
