New to IF

Hi all. I'm a diabetic and on mounjaro and while it helps with my blood sugar but my doctor wasn't happy with my weight loss progress. She recommended I try IF. I'm about six weeks in and my blood sugar and A1C are great. But I find that after my window closes I really start craving diet soda which is basically my one vice. I've read conflicting things about autophagy and artificial sweeteners, some things say it stops it others say it doesn't. Does anyone have any insight? Or links I can read more on? Or any personal experiences? I appreciate your time! via /r/intermittentfasting https://ift.tt/43abWer
