Mounjaro cravings anyone?

I’ve just started my second dose of 2.5 mg Mounjaro and wondered if anyone else experienced unusual cravings during their first week. I’ve had an intense urge for protein — I even ended up eating two tins of tuna in olive oil last night. Very strange. What’s even odder is that my sweet tooth has practically disappeared. All I seem to want is protein.

I found it easier to eat more protein. But, it felt that was because I lost interest in sugar/carbs/pasta/rice/fizzy drinks/wine etc rather than craved protein. I also began eating far more veg/salad than ever before.

It is not an uncommon response. And 19 months later, while it is not as intense, the sweet tooth still hasn't returned fully.

Clementines. I've traded my chocolate addiction for a Clementine addiction. 😂

I’m completely obsessed with oranges. Actually most fruit, especially exotic. Melon, pineapple, physalis, kumquats, apricots, mango, nothing is safe.
