[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a complete sugar addict. How do I overcome that? I was on semaglutide for a few months (lost all needed weight, maintaining since) but even then that did not change. I would eat less, but still a lot of sugar and was craving it. Same now, I can't seem to kick it. Cherries are working as a good substitute as I love them and they are in season, but what will I do when that's over?[/quote]
ADHD meds work for this. often its the hyperactive/ impulse / inattentive part that makes one over eat and pine for sugars 24/7. Try a stimulant. especially if you have other adhd symptoms (exec functioning issues, trouble sleeping, anxiety, forget things, lose things, etc. )[/quote]

This is all about dopamine and D2 receptors in the brain. Sugar, heroine and other addictive substances, unmediated ADHD, all involve problems created in the same part of the brain.
