Weirdest cravings that vanished on GLP meds
Summary
What random or unexpected cravings disappear when taking GLP-1 drugs?
Users report losing interest in specific foods like fruit teas, buns, gum and fried items, plus non-food habits such as online poker. Some note buffets lose appeal because portions feel excessive and work gets neglected. A few see only modest reduction in existing cravings and may need higher doses.
What this discussion establishes- Fruit teas, hamburger buns and chewing gum no longer appeal
- Online poker compulsion eased along with other addictive patterns
- Fried foods and buffets become uninteresting or impractical
- Some still want old favorites but with slightly less intensity and better restraint
- Portion control makes large meals or all-you-can-eat options pointless
Whether higher doses will produce more changes for those who notice only mild shifts so far
Nothing here is advice.

I used to be hooked on online poker. People might roll their eyes thinking what any of this has to do with the medication, yet it really does dial down obsessive habits and addictions.

Buffets. I can't get any real work done there and it's cheaper to just grab a single plate somewhere else.

Right? I just step across the street to a nearby cafe for a bowl of whatever soup they made that day plus a big mug of beer. It's still dinner and plenty satisfying. A big pasta plate would just turn into two more leftover meals anyway. Soup leaves me full and content.
Nothing really yet. I still want the same things I always liked, just a little less strongly, and I have more control about not giving in. Probably need to go up on the dose.
