You can confirm that GLP1s make "carbs specifically disgusting" and an example of this reaction is that you would have a desire to eat potatoes?

Oh no, you have torn through the flaws in my argument like bullets through paper, however will I live this down? Unless I clearly meant "it makes previously-desirable food undesirable", anyway.

I was not trying to tear your argument down. The comment you replied to was about carbs being specifically disgusting and in my head potatoes are the runner up to bread for classic examples of carbs. I was simply asking about what seemed like a contradiction. I have been looking into GLP1s and have not seen/heard people mention that GLP1 make carbs gross.

I think it varies per person. For me, it didn't specifically make carbs gross, but it did make unhealthy food less palatable. I think that's what the GP was talking about as well, they were just a bit more specific.

It really depends on the person, though. They worked for me for a while and don't work now, but I'm a small minority, from what I've heard from people. When they worked, they were great.
