It gets easier if you go 100% cold turkey for a few months; I stopped any kind of refined sugar in like 2016 and now more subtle sweetnesses stand out, and the occasion I eat things like ice cream with chocolate or a glazed jelly donut makes me physically ill.

I was recently given a monster and holy shit people drink that, by choice? Why is there so much??

Even more amazing is that people paint the Monster logo (the three claw marks) on their fucking cars. Imagine getting your sense of self-worth from your overpriced energy taurine drink of choice.

I had this too. After a month without sugar, I lost the taste for it. I can do a few spoons of icecream or a tiny bit of cake, but that's it. I can eat a shit ton of sweet fruit though. I ate 4 mangoes in a day. (Don't do that.)
