it's worth having a look at a glycemic index.....which sugars )carbs) are jolting adn which are long and smooth....for instance watermelon is a jolter...cherries are the lowest (best) fruit on the index.

i need to do the same thing...at LEAST for me...use maple syrup or honey or guava juice instead of white sugar...

The good part is that it tatses so horribly cloying when you step away from it for awhile....

oh....and one other thing....being free from an addiction ALWAYS feels better than indulging it.
