I know you don't want to eat sugar or "fake sugar" but there is a natural sweetener that has not calories and helps stabilize your blood sugar so you don't crave it so much. It is called Stevia and it comes from an herb. It has been used for centuries in Asia, but the fake-sugar companies in the US have lobbied it out as being approved as a sweetener in the US, but things are changing. You can find it in the health-food section because it is sold as a "supplement". You can read more about it if you Google it. I drink it in my lemon water and it helps curb my cravings for sweets. Good luck!
