re: Sugar is like crack. How to stop eating it

There are great substitutes. What has sugar you like? For me:

Coke - switched to Coke Zero
Candy - switched to sugar-free candy
Snacking - nuts, fruit bars, etc
Coffee and tea - Splenda

This is bad advice. Substitutes are just bandaids.

OP, you just need to fricking do it. Grit it out for a week and you’ll feel like a million dollars. It comes easy after that.

Don’t eat anything you didn’t prepare or know the specifics on how it was prepared. Don’t buy anything without checking the label (including reading the ingredients... research that). Drink a lot of water. Get a lot of electrolytes, buy supplements for that if you have to.
