    How do I get rid of my sugar addiction?

    I'm eating a tub of chocolate ice cream right now...
    >>
    There are only two choices, weaning off over time or cold turkey. Which one is best depends on the kind of person you are. Besides that, the only other thing that matters is if you down sugar to relief some pain or whatever. That's the root of most addictions, so you can't quit them. You just have to become the kind of person who doesn't do xyz. Unfortunately, this is hard and painful. Some practical changes are altering your environment, which ultimately means not giving yourself the option to indulge in the first place. Don't buy shit with sugar, I mean. Anyways. Wish you the best of luck in your endeavour.

    >Don't buy shit with sugar, I mean
    That's... I mean... I... can't... do... that... :(
    >>
    >>35031395
    Ignore that and bake hella bread. You can do a lot with water, flour, and yeast, depending on how you work it. Fill up on that so you haven’t much room for sugar.
    >>
    Take the sweetenerpill. There's zero downside to chugging like five of these per day.
    >B-but I heard it was bad because...
    It's 99%+ water. Look up what happens when you boil a can of zero zero zero vs. regular coke.
    >>
    >>35031457
    >sweetener
    sorry man that stuff tastes like shit I'd rather eat literal dogshit instead of that
    >>
    >>35031457
    Drink diet. That zero crap only been around for about a decade. The cancer is going to blow up soon. Diet has lasted for almost fifty years and grandma just now kicked the bucket.

    Not true, it’s just that some pains are baked into your subconscious, and the only way to overcome them is meditation/prayer
    >>
    Just get to a point where you do cardio enough that eating all that sugar is a good thing
    >>
    >>35031395
    Man I miss Obama. Anyway the true redpill for this is to just stop. It might not sound like what you were looking for but I promise you if you just stop for like a few weeks then you won't even crave it anymore. I went from daily juices and sodas to carbonated water to exclusively drinking plain water, and I don't crave sugary drinks anymore
    >>
    >>35032020
    >Man I miss Obama
    The blackest president we will ever have
    >>
    >>35032088
    He blacker than black

    >>35031395
    They make sugar-free ice cream, you know. Or if you can't find it, you can make your own.
    >>
    >>35034443
    Nah fuck that. Sugar free anything tastes like absolute fucking dog shit. I'd rather drink cat piss to be honest. Better off just fucking eating real sugar.
    >>
    >>35034443
    >hey anon I really want to quit heroin got any suggestions?
    >yeah I got an idea hey why don't you try cocaine instead?
    Do you even fucking listen to your self? Holy fucking shit man
    >>
    >>35034529
    A better analogy would be to give up heroin by shooting up sterile saline solution.
    >>
    >>35034488
    Well, I used to make my own sugar-free ice cream, and it tasted great. And when it comes to drinks, I guarantee you can't tell the difference between sugar and sucralose. But whatever.
    >>
    >>35031395
    Look in the mirror at your disgusting fat gut, stand there naked and realize everyone how consciously recognizes your existence is disgusted by how sloppy you are.
    Then with newfound resolve to make yourself into a respectable human being, discipline yourself to only consume a small amount of sugar after dinner only IF you exercised that day. It must be a reward, not a habitual given.
    Eventually your saturated taste buds will return to a normal baseline, when anything more than a small amount of ice cream will be overwhelmingly too sweet and literally unpleasant. Then you made it.
    Learn discipline or be a disgusting slob, your choice.
    >>
    >>35034638
    Uhhhh... yeah... I can fucking tell the difference between sugar and sucralose. Sugar tastes like real food.
    Sucralose, monk fruit, whatever fuck you call that shit, tastes like fucking diesel fuel mixed with gasoline.
    That's why I fucking hate that shit in the first place. It leaves this god fucking AWFUL after taste in my mouth.
    Fucking nasty ass shit. I do not fucking understand how you motherfuckers can eat that nasty fucking shit.
    >>
    >>35034631
    No a better analogy would be to not give up one sweet tasting thing for another sweet tasting thing.
    >>
    >>35031395
    Look's like Obama's enjoying some ice cream of his own there.
    >>
    >>35036557
    Why don't you have a seat...
    >>
    >>35034682
    >Sucralose, monk fruit, whatever fuck you call that shit,
    Sucralose and monk fruit are two completely different things. Ignorant fool.
    >>
    >>35034709
    But if the first sweet tasting thing is bad for your health and the second one isn't...?
    >>
    >>35037030
    Yeah and...? I've eaten foods made with almost all of the alternative sugars.
    Sucralose, monk fruit, acesulfame potassium, stevia, aspartame...
    And do you know what they all had in common? THEY TASTED LIKE DOG SHIT
    MOTHER FUCKING ABSOLUTE FUCKING DOG ASS MOTHER FUCKING SHIT
    You could blind fold me give me a taste test and I'll be able to tell you it's not sugar
    >um axxshoooaaahhhleeee anon um liek those are two completely different things
    So yeah... they're different sure...but they still taste like shit... motherfucking dog shit
    Man I remember I was a kid back in the 90s and I used to drink Sunny D all the time
    I took a sip of that a few years ago and I literally vomited cause it was so disgusting
    You wanna take a wild guess at what sugars are in that shit they call Sunny D? Yea...
    >>
    >>35031395
    I haven't been able to.
    When I'm doing well I don't buy things like fruit snacks or soda, pop tarts, stuff that has zero nutritional value but I can't shake chocolate. When I'm feeling shitty I reach for something sweet. Savory stuff is gross when I'm in a bad headspace.
    >>
    >>35034638
    Nta
    >can't tell the difference between sugar and sucralose
    Are you insane or do you just not have taste buds?
    >>
    >>35037226
    >but I can't shake chocolate
    You a woman? Cause I'm a straight guy, and I fucking love chocolate to near orgasmic levels.
    I always feel like I'm not a real man for loving chocolate this much, but god damn it's so good.
    >>
    >>35032020
    That nigger was somehow the least shit president we had this century
    >>
    >>35037233
    >or do you just not have taste buds?
    If you were slightly less retarded than you are, you would know that the taste buds are not in any way involved in distinguishing between two different sweet flavours. Given that you do not know this, your opinion is discarded.
    >>
    >>35031395
    replace it with alcohol. im serious. next time you want ice cream just get drunk.
    >>
    >>35031456
    carbs are converted to glucose anyway this is terrible advice
    >>
    >>35037394
    Yeah
    >>35037668
    So you agree. They're different flavors.
    >>
    >>35037746
    >Yeah
    Biological woman?
    >>
    >>35037944
    No thanks. That tastes like shit. I'd rather drink my own piss than use that garbage.
    >>
    >>35031395
    >How do I get rid of my sugar addiction?
    Read Dune. Imagine you're Paul getting the Gom Jabbar pressed into his neck. Are you thinking about the pain in your hand or the needle in your neck? If you're thinking about the pain in your hand you are basically on the level of a dumb animal who can't learn to reason.

    It's relevant because I won't take female advice from a faggot in a dress.

    seeing people get mad about sweeteners is a dead giveaway that you're never going to make progress with this vice. you sound like a child. you think most of us wouldn't just be eating sugar and fat all the time if we could? sound fucking amazing. but the thing is, you can't. so we adapt. humans actually have a way shorter sense memory than we realize, like >>35032020 said, we actually forget the sensations of food pretty fast as long as we're not starving. I used to drink two cokes a day, then i stopped for a while. just stopped buying them, then eventually i had a diet coke and it was different enough from water to scratch that itch of just wanting to taste something.

    i've been pretty active most of my life and have friends who constantly say they want to lose weight, friends who i've tried to help but they can never stick to it, so i've come to a conclusion:

    anyone who wants change will figure out what works for them by themselves. advice and self help books are bullshit made for people to feel vindicated in whatever they already think.

    if you seriously cannot stop yourself, look inside yourself and ask why. why do you care and why can't you stop?

    Well now I wish I'd lied to you and said I was trans
    >>
    >>35042128
    lmao what difference would that make? anyways whether you actually are a biological woman or not
    you clearly support the mentally ill community and that alone makes anything you say completely worthless
    >>
    >>35042162
    >what difference would that make
    idk man you're the one who thinks gender identity makes a difference in a discussion about sugar addiction you tell me
    >>
    >>35042171
    I didn't ask about sugar addiction, I asked very fucking specifically about chocolate, and men liking chocolate.
    Because chocolate is something that is heavily associated with women. So yes, your genitals factor in here.

    awww what happened to mr bear grylls? did the mods nuke him for drinking his own pee? lmao xD
    >>
    >>35037685
    yes but how they're converted makes all the difference

    >>35031395
    What has actually helped me is thinking that every dessert or sweet junk food I put into my body will get me one step closer to diabetes, so basically scare yourself by thinking you will get diabetes soon even if you aren't!! Give yourself saccharophobia and the fear of sugar!
    >>
    >>35044839
    >Give yourself saccharophobia
    I'm still dealing with my transphobia. I can't handle another phobia.

    Sugar is addicting but it doesn’t have withdrawals other than cravings.

    And the cravings only last about three days.

    Cook your own food, boiling chicken and rice with some salt and pepper is a meal you can easily eat for three days. Make chili with no sugar in it.

    And stop buying soda. Switch to tea with no sugar.

    >>35038061
    This is a troll post, but I’ll take an excuse to man-splain Dune.

    This whole point of that test is to see if you are a human who can handle power, or an animal who gives in to emotional impulses.

    -Your hand goes into a non-lethal pain box, and a lethal poison needle is pressed to your neck.

    -You are told the pain box is only temporary, but you don’t know how long your hand will be in the box, and if you pull your hand out early, the needle stabs you and you die.

    If you can’t control yourself and focus past the *temporary* pain to the true
    Threat, you are deemed un-worthy of further training.

    Couple of fun notes
    -the pain box seriously hurts, fire and electricity all at the same time.
    -the test is real. They kill you if you fail it.
    -in all of Dune’s history, only certain women passed the test, Paul Atredies was the first man to ever do it, which was the first indication that he was The Chosen One.

    >>35049177
    No

    >>35049406
    Boiling chicken? Nah, nigga, we fry our chicken over here.
    >>
    >>35049430
    That's retarded, death is better than being in excruciating agony for an indefinite amount of time with no promise of anything rewarding afterwards.
