As a self-diagnosed sugar addict (not exactly "sugar", but very specific sugar containing products), I've experienced many relapses and learned a lot the hard way. I agree that abstinence from these products is the only way. Even if you feel confident after a few clean months, you can and will get back to your worst soon after you allow yourself to use the "drug", even if it starts small. What I also learnt is, while in remission, I can tolerate small sugary treats once in a while in social situations, as long as they are NOT the specific products I know I have a problem with (or with the same basic ingredients - for example chocolate and peanuts). What helped me: low carb and intermittent fasting help a lot, but only after you've cut the drug, not before, because it could lead to compensatory behaviours like fasting and then bingeing after that. ANY physical activity helps, even light regular walks. Mindfulness can be very beneficial also. Thanks for the talk, Bitten! Your early work let me look at my sugar problem as an addiction back in the days, and while not entirely under control, it helped me get many months of remission and convinced me there's a way out of this condition.
