Has anyone developed an aversion to artificial sweeteners after starting meds?
I know there's a lot of controversy regarding artificial sweeteners. I don't like them either, but I use them because I feel like my blood sugar tends to spike sometimes and drinking club soda with some no-sugar syrup helps me stay hydrated when I get sick of water. I also have some protein powder with artificial sweeteners in them. However, since I started Zepbound a couple weeks ago, I have noticed that when I drink something with artificial sweetener in it, it makes me feel very tired and weird in a way it didn't before. It also seems to taste worse. Has anyone had similar experiences? I know GLP-1 affects insulin and that artificial sweeteners can send false messages. Wondering if the metabolic repair of Zepbound is making that more obvious now.
