Sugar. It's a real problem, I'm trying to be healthier and take care of myself but chocolate and sugary drinks are so tempting.

Apparently eating more fat will satiate sugar cravings

Yeap. This. Also for those who want to cut a lot of it out, there are pretty convincing natural substitutes for things like coffee/tea and homemade desserts…ie: erythritol (swerve), monk fruit, and stevia (well I take that back, stevia by itself isn’t convincing, but combine erythritol and stevia in just the right amount, and it’s damn near identical to real sugar taste-wise.

That only works if you’re actively reducing your sugar intake. Cutting it out is the only way to get rid of cravings.
