... I went cold turkey on "sweet" and although I'd thought my tastes might change, I was unprepared by how quickly they did. Worth a try. Nothing lost if it doesn't work for some of you.
Indeed. In my case a temporary shortage plus a heavy cold pushed me over the line.
When initially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2003, sweeteners helped me to kick my sweet tooth habits, but I realised that eating sweetened foods reinforced my desire to round off meals with something sweet.
In time, my palate has changed and foods I once regarded as savoury, like tomatoes and onions for instance, now taste sweet. I have erythritol and stevia in my cupboard, but I seldom use sweeteners these days.
