That's not my experience with tirzepatide. When it worked for me (which was a brief period, admittedly), it kind of turned me off fatty foods, and I wouldn't want to have pizza, for example, but I'd crave a chicken breast and boiled potato, or salad.

When it didn't work, one of the failure modes was that I still craved fatty/fried food, but I got terrible stomach pain from it, which is the worst of both worlds. If I'm still going to be unable to resist food, I don't want to be punished for it any more than I already am by being overweight!

I saw this was a feature, not a bug.

For me, it was definitely a bug, because my issue is I can't restrain myself. I don't lose weight, I just get pains. If I could restrain myself, why do I need the medication?
