Never used to eat sugary sweets, but am awful now. Have zero will power and the other half keeping crap in the cupboards doesn't help

I did however go on a keto diet ages ago. Hot chocolate made by cooking coco powder into coconut oil followed by a "milk" of your choice - tended to use almond, but wonder if oat would have been better. Then sweeten with stevia to taste.

Not sure what vegan options for this, but sugar free Berry jellies and moose using jelly were tasty easy puds.

I did the keto diet about 12 years ago, lost 25kg in about 4 months and stayed sugar free for about 8 years.
I dabble a bit with good quality dark chocolate, and have the odd gingernut, but there's now sugar in the house, and no urges to. Fresh fruit and honey fill the void.

keto

I liked it. Loads of energy, access to good food, a hobby.

However, my other half veto'd it after 2wks due to my intensely bad breath. Plus they're veggie which made meal times and absolute fucker, and we were saving for a home...the cost of that diet is crippling.
