In terms of sugar, I've had some success replacing it with healthier options like Stevia but really just lowering the amount of consumption helps. I find that if I stop having "sweet" did for a while I am much happier having more savoury snacks and it becomes harder (or less desirable) to return to sweet things.

I have some healthy eating resources I can probably scan and share if you would be interested.

Snacking on protein instead of sugar really worked for me cutting down on sweet stuff.

Now not only do I not crave sugar, but I find sweet stuff pretty nauseating, generally.

What kind of protein did you replace sugar with?

Even something as simple as some carrot sticks can be great to fill that hunger craving, my default action now when I am hungry for a snack is to check the cupboards (learned behaviour, must stop, naughty naughty) and make myself a large glass of water. That not only helps fight the craving, makes me feel refreshed, but also removes me from the kitchen so I'm not tempted to go back for a sugary snack.

I would appreciate it if you do scan them.
