By that logic, are you suggesting to give up all carbs? That seems unsustainable for long-term weight loss.

Most people lose tolerance for sweets if they give it up long enough. That doesn't mean they can't enjoy carbs altogether.

Bread turns into sugars. They are both carbs. You gotta go cold turkey with the sugar. It’s an addiction.

All that to say give up the sugar

What do you drink OP? I just lost 10 lbs of the 50 I gained since Covid. I drink about 3 or 4 cups of hot chocolate per day. I stopped cold turkey the past two weeks and lost 10 pounds. I’ve been drinking hot tea the past two weeks.

I had this issue. Cutting out sugar totally helped me. I did low carb, cutting out sugar totally. I was addicted to sugar. After about 3 weeks, the constant cravings were less. But I mentally still loved sweets.

Also, not just walk, power walk. Get the heart rate up. Do 20 minute cardio. Get the heart racing 4-5 days a week.

No. Flour, yeast, water, and salt.

It's a very personal thing. Everyone has their vices. The most efficient thing is to count calories and find the right balance. Like if you snack on nuts a lot, that's probably not a good idea for weight loss, even if on paper its nutrition profile is much better than candy.
