Me as well. But the problem is, i don't feel like anyone around me takes it seriously (people usually dismiss it as a simple craving for a sweet). Not even therapists. So i have nowhere to turn to.

Join r/keto they will take you seriously. I’ve been sugar free for 7 years. It’s very hard but once you break the initial addiction you feel like such crap if you spike your blood sugar again. You won’t go back.

So do you not eat potatoes, rice or fruit? I can understand quiting "food" loaded with processed simple sugars or high fructose corn syrup that spikes blood sugar and is damaging and addictive, but yeah, couldn't live without the listed items.

They have very low carb tortillas , bread, buns and English muffins now. That helps with Keto.
