I like sugar a lot less now that I eat it more rarely. I switched from liking milk chocolate to 88 percent dark.
My biggest tip to stop your hands from eating carbs is to stop your wallet from paying for them. It's a lot easier not to buy a box of donuts in the grocery store than to not eat them once you have them in your house.
One thing that helps me maintain low carb most of the time is to have cheat days. I know these are definitely slowing down any weight loss effects I gain but they make it much less depressing whenever I do happen to crave sugar on no carb days.
To make that easier, try and go shopping when you're not hungry. My husband says it doesn't make a difference for him, but for many people (like me) it totally does.
