Yeah it goes mostly away for me. But I have to go pretty cold turkey. Sugar is a slippery slope. I have a little, I want more, etc

For me it's baked goods.

@Purpledaisy: YES. ...& no. I'll explain:

In order for me to cut sugar (which I have for the last 2 months), I had to go all or nothing.
A little bit if sugar makes your body want more. Sugar leads to ...more sugar.
I had to cut it all out and then my cravings totally went away. I seriously don't crave sweets anymore.
I did the same with grains. I literally only eat grains when I'm not home and have no other options....& then, I crave them when I get home because I had them earlier that day. I have to stop cheating because a "cheat" leads to days of cravings.

Pretty soon, chocolate will be too sweet for you. I got to the point where a blueberry hits the spot. This is coming from a former muffin, candy bar and Starburst addict

I too have drastically cut my sugar intake. I literally was on a sugar rollercoaster all day, and at first, when I went cold turkey, it was awful, but after about a month, I don't have cravings as strong as I used to and things that never tasted sweet are like little bits of candy. I can barely eat apples and grapes without feeling like I'm eating a spoonful of sugar.
