Anyone know how to overcome sugar addiction?

Question by lampost blues: Anyone know how to overcome sugar addiction?
I have always been slightly overweight around BMI 25, but eat healthily and I prepare all my own meals (and for my family), using mostly unprocessed foods. My only problem I would say is addiction to sugar. THis probably started as a child as my mom was not very discriminatory with what she gave us to eat (froot loops for breakfast, etc). Since I’ve been an adult (I am 37) I have taken care of what I eat, but cannot stop eating products that contain sugar. Even under my best efforts I cave in about after a couple of weeks. I don’t binge or eat huge amounts, but it definetely is a craving. Anyway I have looked for support groups on the internet and cant find anything that isn’t some company trying to sell something. Can you direct me to a group that is for sugar addicts but which offers free support and counselling as AA or smokers quitting groups?

The only advice i would give is to just TRY and eat more savoury foods and ditch the sugar.
