[center]eat a more balanced diet. Protein, fruits, veggies, healthy carbs. I know that for me, when I actually eat properly, I don't crave sweets as much.
I also think having something slightly sweet in the morning helps. Like for example a protein shake with breakfast or fruit for a morning snack.

Another tip would be to simply not buy sweets.
Then they aren't in the house for you to binge on

Try the No White Diet. That's what my doctor put me on. I've lost a dress size and about 20 lbs since last June. It's slow, but very effective. I eat fruit cups when I want something sweet, and I have a sugar free pumpkin apple walnut custard in the oven right now, made with Splenda.

I also made a big crock pot full of baked beans, and this time added a cup of Splenda, and they taste just like store bought baked beans. ☺️

ALSO, talk to Shecallsmecrushdaddy. He has had some great success.

Eat lots of fresh vegetables, lentils. Fermented foods and drinks. Some healthy grains. etc.
Eat fresh fruit or Use honey as a sweetener if you really need it

Don't buy sweets, watch the labels on bread, yogurt, and all kinds of things etc for amounts of sugar. If you live in America they add sugar like crazy. It's pretty bad.

Drink water and unsweetened coffee and tea.

I cut sugar when I was in Uni and made an effort to eat really healthy. Eventually you stop craving or even wanting to eat sweets. And most sweet things honestly taste too sweet when you do try it and you don't eat more then a couple bites.

If you rarely eat sweet things then it makes it more special when you do.
