You need to find and acceptable substitute.

I used to drink pop like other people drink water. I had an accident and had an extended stay in the hospital and they wouldn't let me have any pop. When i got out i started drinking zero sugar pop. Because i had went so long without my sugar fix i think my body was tricked into believing it's the same thing. It's not, i know it's not. But at least i'm not drinking all those empty calories now. I really wish i could quit even the sugarless pop.

Self discipline. It’s like drugs, you just have to not do it. They say sugar is as addictive as cocaine. The potato is right, food manufacturers put sugar in everything. It’s to keep you coming back for more, Americans eat 50% more sugar now than they did in 1980 and that’s partially due to these corporate vampire cocksuckers. I am sure other countries have the same problem. Look at the amount of sugar in breakfast cereal, spaghetti sauce, soda, all sorts of random shit. The more food you prepare from scratch yourself, the more you can control the sugar in your diet. If you go to big chain restaurants they put lots of sugar and salt in everything to make it taste better and keep you coming back.

that's a good question because as a nurse, I can tell you that sugar is the top reason why so many people have diseases nowadays.

focus more on making your own cakes, cookies at home with sweeteners that don't spike your blood sugar such as monk fruit powder or dates. Or if you are really craving juice, try adding a tiny bit of sweet pineapple to your veggie smoothies. Instead of buying a huge gallon of orange juice (which isn't even actual juice from an orange), make your own juice from real oranges at home.

I don't think going without sugar will work for you if your brain and body has gotten so used to depending on sugar all the time.

and if you like drinking coca cola, there is actually a really good replica that tastes the exact same without any sugar. Google the brand poppi classic cola. I promise you that it will taste just the same as coke

By not eating sugary foods, not even looking at them, or eating very small portions.

Start with drinks, easiest with those. No more soft drinks or only zero sugar ones. Then eat less processed food.

Priorize getting enough protein and eating well balanced meals

I reduced sugar in tea and coffee to zero gradually over six months.

whatever you try... it goes down to control, focus and discipline...

You are in control of your body and urges. Get it together.

Stop eating cookies and Halloween candy. Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream show will power

By starving to death. Sugar is the basic unit of food and can be found in all types of food.

It takes mental restraint.
