Decode your cravings. Normal foods have enough sugar in them. Your body doesn't need a high concentration of sugar, except possibly when you're running a marathon, in which case Rumsfeld's fake sugar won't help anyway. The craving for something that tastes like it has a lot of sugar in it is really a craving for something else, and that other thing is what your should give your body. There are many possibilities. For example, you might need more sugar in your blood, in which case the best and quickest way to get it is with vigorous physical activity. Or you might be craving something that is normally found together with sugar, such as the fiber in fruit. Or maybe your mouth needs a workout, maybe some exercise or a gargle with something to clean out bacteria. Or it could be that your psyche needs something, like meditation or prayer or fellowship. Or it could be that you have an overgrowth of the unfriendly intestinal flora, and their cry for the food that they need in order to thrive is best denied in favor of a day of nothing but broth and then a strict sugar-free low-carb diet and some probiotic for a week or so to reduce their population to the point where their cravings aren't mistaken for your cravings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQr5PMSqkSk).
