[quote=Anonymous]If your cravings didn't stop when you cut out sugar cold turkey - that's probably because of some specifics of your metabolism, and, subsequently, blood sugar levels (as in sugar cravings indicate sudden drop of blood sugar, so your body asks you to get you some quickly).

The best way to approach it - proper diet 
Start your day with protein-heavy breakfast (nothing sweet or with added sugar - fruits, berries, pasties, even bagels - check labels on you breakfast food) preferably within an hour after waking up. Eat every 2.5-3 hour, protein+vegetable/fruit
Anything sweet (including fruits and berries) should not be eaten when hungry (best window - 1-2 hours after previous meal).
Thats general recommendations, for more precise adjustments I suggest using Continuous glucose monitors - some people have spikes and subsequent drop after certain products but not the other - like I got spikes on corn, canned green beans and french fries, but homemade white bread has no effect.
Your goal is - keep your blood sugar steady - slow rise and fall within the range.[/quote]
