Here is some research on sugar.

if I want sugar I have it ..I just make sure I am at a deficit or maintenance for the week...
there is nothing wrong with regular sugar consumption....0 -
If I want sugar I have it, fit it into my calorie/macro goals, and enjoy.
I love strawberries too, but you do know that they have sugar, right?
I'm pretty sure she means processed sugar? I am assuming anyway
I also go for fruit when I am craving something sweet. Unless it is something specific then I just eat a little of whatever I was craving. Tonight, it was dark chocolate
right, because we all know that fruit sugar is superior to all other forms of sugar..? LOL0 -
I have whatever I am craving but in moderation. I have found this to be my best approach as it stops me from binging later.0

What do you eat when you are craving something sugary? My main go-to these days are fresh strawberries! No sugar needed!0 -
I leave refined sugar alone because I get a craving. If I don't have any I don't crave usually. If I do I try and eat fruit BUT if I crave after not eating any for a couple of days this is due to something else - usually me not eating enough and my bs dropping so I try and eat enought (for me I'm going for -1000 a day but add in my exercise cals)0

I like the idea of still eating sugar, but just limiting it. I would rather have limited "real" sugar in my diet. However, I still prefer fruit as my sugar substitute. I have been trying to make more things from scratch, and living gluten free forces me to read all labels anyway!0

Fruit ("real") sugar is the same as regular sugar though, fyi. Your body's insulin response doesn't care if it came from a cupcake or a couple bananas, but I guess it is nice that the sugar came with some micronutrients.
It is true and super ridiculous that sugar is in everything, I cut sugar (and carbs over 15g/day) 100% a couple months ago and really have watch labels like a hawk. You'd think a deli rotisserie chicken with no visible glaze or sauce is sugar free... nope!
If I need something sweet I'll usually melt together cream cheese, heavy cream, butter, and some erythritol (natural sweetener with no insulin response). Sooo yummy.0 -
I decided to start keeping chocolate chips on hand. Once I eat 3 or 4 of them I am over my chocolate craving... and 3 or 4 of them is better than 1 or 2 whole candy bars!0

Chocolate chips are my go-to also! I eat Lily's brand vegan ones sweetened with stevia and I can have 60 for 55 calories. And strawberries dipped in them are perfect for sugar cravings!0
