Much as I wish it weren’t the case, anecdotally, I have yet to find a substitute for sweets that doesn’t encourage the same feedback loop of craving more sweets, and more calories, leading to overconsumption. The only times I’ve been truly successful with weight loss is when I’ve weaned myself off any processed form of sugar. It’s hell for about 2 weeks, but at some point my cravings for processed foods and sweets drops like crazy and I’m then satisfied (mostly) with healthy, whole foods. |

I stopped eating sugary foods over a year ago now. My definition is kind of loose, but basically if you'd call it a dessert I don't eat it.
Whole milk is the biggest exception. I also don't really care too much about sugar in stuff like ketchup or other sauces.
But soda, cake, sweets, donuts, basically anything for which the entire point is to be sweet and sugary, I just don't see the point. I would get horrendously addicted to it, but now it's just like - why? It does nothing for me. It even fucks up my teeth. Give me a chicken breast instead. Nom nom nom.
