| Hi ibrokethebed! You can do this, we are all here for you! Your sugar cravings will stop once you're into ketosis, and all of the carbs have left your body. I would suggest completely ditching "diet" anything, particularly sodas. If you lay off of those for a few days it will help with the cravings. In the meantime, drink lots of water!
