As a sugar addict the only thing that has ever worked for me was doing a 3 day fast.

For about 6 months afterwards I just seemed to not need sugary things as much and I didn’t crave it in the same way. I also had a lot more control over my hunger, being able to ignore it for longer, so I guess that probably helped.

Eventually it wore off and I was back to being an addict again, but I thought it was interesting because I never expected that to happen. I guess it was a ‘cold turkey’ episode.

Did you return to try another 3-day fast? Any ability to repeat the prior success?
I haven’t yet, but I’m feeling like I need to again!
