Suggestions Atkins Dieters?

Hello,
For those of you following the program, what did you do in the beginning stages to rid yourself of Sugar cravings? Did you taper off of sweets? Replace non-complex carbs with more complex carbs (fruits for instance). I have done an Atkins type diet with good results, but didn't stick with it, but going into it this time, I feel as if I am addicted to sugar. Any suggestions for overcoming this? Also, is there anyone just starting off that would like a weight loss buddy? Thanks. Good luck to you all. Tweet
