I have a super sweet tooth and have become more and more concerned about it as I get older. One thing that I am really bad at is any kind of conscious diet or regime, I am just not regimented with anything really.
So, I tried the big-bang and did a 4 day fast - my theory being, well, treat it like a drug addiction and go 'cold turkey'. It worked. I massively cut down on my sugar intake because I didn't feel like I needed sugar (for about 3 months).
Over time as I've had sugary foods it's definitely come back, and so I'll probably try again. But I found it quite interesting how quickly I could reset myself to a state where my body didn't crave it.
Obviously, fasting isn't for everyone, and long fasts you should make sure you know what you're doing, but it was a serious eye opener.
