    Ive found it takes 2 weeks of no "sugar" foods for those cravings to disappear. Those 2 weeks weren't easy for me but once that passed i find an apple a day does help. By sugar foods i mean cookies, chocolate and sweet treats

    But those are not just sugar? Why single out the sugar? Thirty years ago it would have been the fat in those same foods to be singled out...

    If you armed yourself with sugar and gluten one could conquer the world. Who could stand against such evil weapons of mass destruction? Seriously though, I'd rather eat an apple to cure a sugar craving than a candy bar. It's just got more nutritional value to it. However, if you're craving candy then have a small piece every so often. Denying yourself any food for extended periods of time will increase the likelihood of binging on that food in the future.
