Craving for specific sweet things
OK, so I have never had a huge sweet tooth and have a long family history of diabetes. I have always avoided sugar and tried to moderate even the natural sources of sugar in my diet for that reason and also because it hasn't made me feel great.
I started zepbound 3 weeks ago and since then I've been craving fresh fruit and honey very specifically. I don't want cookies or baked goods or anything like that but very specifically, fresh fruit and a bit of honey. For breakfast, I've been having a lot of mornings where i want a piece of fruit, some plain yoghurt, a handful of oats and about a 1/2 tbs of honey. Nothing outrageous but a really specific combination that would not have appealed to me before (my whole life I've been an eggs for breakfast kind of guy).
While I'd enjoy dessert foods, I think I was mostly in it for the butter and/or the carbs, not the sweetness specifically. It feels different now.
Has anyone experienced this? I have no desire for things with refined sugar in them but even now, thinking about it, a spot of honey sounds great. Not much but a little. And it feels important. It hasn't seemed to affect me negatively in any way (i.e., I haven't felt like I've had any sugar highs or lows of substance except for one day where I had low blood sugar and reflected that I truly forgot to eat enough food to match my level of exertion).
Curious if anyone else has had an experience like this.
