Some people liken sugar addiction to drug addiction. I can see their point; nothing like a sugar buzz followed by the all encompassing crash. Everything I have read recommends a slow transition away from it and eventually, we won't crave it anymore. I don't know about that - I can smell sugar from a mile away! Good luck on your quest! 

I ordered that candigone cleanse tonight for myself - not so much for sugar as just overall 'feel better'? I don't think I would enjoy a raw food diet long term either. I am definitely interested if you want to share what you've found in your research that you feel will help you in your quest. Take care of you. Bella. 

I wish i knew how to help you but i just don't care about sweets at all i drink a chocolate protein shake everyday. Its like having my dessert but its good for me. Have you tried doing anything like that? Or maybe eating a chocolate protein bar? 

I was totally addicted to sugar. Then I tried the Body by Vi challenge and my cravings for sweets were are gone. I used to drink a ton of Mountain Dew and now I drink water and exercise. I go for the healthier snacks now. 

I have found the longer I go without it, and the more I eat whole healthy foods - the less reaction and cravings I have. 'Processed foods' are hard on my system, 'artificial' ingredients etc, they all seem to work against me once I have switched over to eating just whole real food. I eat anything that is made with one ingredient - or up to a couple of 'one' ingredient foods. If I can't pronounce it... I generally don't eat it. (well, if I can't pronounce the ingredient.) You get my drift LOL! Anyway, eating 'clean' helps me control the sugar rollercoaster quite well.
