Does he have to vomit the M&M's back up?
I really hope that's not the procedure.
Incidentally, chewing M&Ms and then spitting them out is a moderately effective way to wean yourself off of chocolate cravings.
Any suggestions for sugar specifically? I like chocolate and can get it in low-sweet, high-theobromine form, but shaking off sugar cravings would do me a world of good.
From my incomplete understanding of taste psychology, sugar is one of the instinctual taste preferences, whereas things like chocolate are learned taste preferences that are possible to unlearn. I've found that sugar/salt/fat cravings have been useful signals about the quality of my diet, and so would recommend taking a hard look at your diet before trying to alter those signals. (They could be mistuned, but I don't have any advice on how to correctly tune them.)
