Sugar cravings.
I'm still very early on in my Wegovy Journey (week 5 and just started 0.5mg) but my biggest struggle with weight management has always been sweet treats and sugar cravings.
My meals have always been fairly balanced and I get a lot of fibre in my diet but I crave sugary foods in the evenings. All of my life I've struggled with this - for years I never thought it was abnormal to eat a 100g bar of chocolate to myself.
I have pcos and I know it's a vicious cycle of craving sugar and then eating too much sugar which makes the cravings worse. I'm really serious about getting this under control because I worry about the long term health risks.
I know Wegovy isn't a magic drug and part of the journey will be making more intentional choices with meals (prioritising high protein) and exercise but I hope my journey with wegovy can help. I was wondering if anyone who struggles with similar has found any benefits on their wegovy journey and things you found that helped you.
The first 3 weeks on 0.25 have helped. The satiety I felt after eating dinner especially when I had high protein meals (30g or more) meant that I was too full for anything sweet after. On the last week, the effectiveness had mostly worn off.
