Strategies that clearly helped you quit sugar?

[Human Mint]

It is difficult and to painful. I know that following my passion will help because I am looking for pleasure in sugar and having a purpose resolves a lot of this pain.

But I mean more body-related things that you know help with this problem. Like incorporing more fiber. I'm doing that, but generally, after a delicious fibrous meal, I still crave sugar or refined carbs. Cold turkey doesn't serves either.

So it helps to identify the motive and once you do you'll often be surprised that quite often it is simply being bored or running away from some tasks/duties. Once you identify those cravings they are easily suppressed by not giving in. This also trains your brain to stop making connection between mild craving and immediate reward. 

This sounds what I need to focus on

In my case instead of focusing of not eating sugar I focused to add lot of green vegetables. I've started to read "150 healthiest foods on earth" from Leo's booklist. Also Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya meditation by Sadhguru helped me to develop energetic skeleton so I less influenced by any external thing: pleasure and pain ar e not that important

fasting, and eating things that aren't sugar

Just seeing that it's disgusting and often taken in overwhelming quantities (especially with many store-bought sweet products) goes a long way.

To change your self and going towards a healthier life overall, are much about how to strengthen yourself to handle external "mainstream" issues overall.

Where is "sugar" used today and why?

@Michael569 Can dopamine be a trigger and related to what you wrote?
