So I'm having some success by just by deciding that I won't be eating anything sugary for 7 days at a time. I nicknamed it a sugar detox.
Basically for a 7 day period, I try my best to avoid all sources of added sugar or high sugar. I allow myself to experience negative emotions, any physical discomfort from sudden lack of sugar, and do it when a calmer week is coming up.
I usually find my cravings for sweets much more reduced, fruits taste sweater and better, and it's easier to keep within my daily intake goals. I'm not always perfect but just keep trying during those 7 days I decided on no matter what.
Was always under the impression that "banning" can cause binges, however I found it worked for me mainly because it has an expiry date. Actually now I do this to break a cycle of binge eating.
Thought I'd see if anyone else had luck with similar sorts of mental techniques.
