As a long-time low-carber, I want to assure you that if you really work at this, your tastes will change and you will feel so much more in control. There are no two ways about it. Sugar makes you crave more sugar. Get it out of your life and you'll enjoy real foods and the cravings will diminish.
Before I started, I was seriously addicted to carbs, especially bread and chocolate. I ate pounds of Hershey's Kisses with Almonds and I felt so out of control. Every morning, I woke up and asked myself, "What am I going to do about my weight today?" You know what? It wasn't very long after I started Atkins that I started waking up with a feeling of relief that I WAS doing something about my weight and that it was working well. It wasn't too long before I no longer craved the things I used to binge on. I never even think about those foods anymore. To me, they're poison.
So, hang in there. You'll get there if you really make this a WOL.
