Hi, I am 56 and have been battling Sugar cravings for nearly all my life. Like you I can go only a few days without my drug (sugar). I have yo you dieted all my adult life and have lost and gained the equivilent of serveral people. I too, have read book after book on Sugar cravings, nutrition etc. I also have tried everything going. The only thing that worked for me was hypnotism. I tried it in a panic as I had lost a lot of weight, and the cravings had got to me once again. It actually worked, right from the first time. The only problem was that I had to stop going after a few weeks as it was just too expensive. I did have a very good therapist who knew what he was doing.
