As far as chocolate goes, simply opt for dark chocolate with a high cacao concentration. It doesn't have much sugar and is actually healthy.

I don't have myself cravings for sugar, so I can't speak from personal experience about how to get rid of it. As far as I know there are however many new agey people who do develop a taste for healthy food.

If you want to go down that route I would recommend you to get better at tasting more complex favors. If the only thing you can taste is the amount of salt and sugar than you will use those variables for food selections. If you can taste a wide diversity of different flavors than you don't need those simply flavors. Mindful eating an exploring how different healthy food tastes like can be your adventure.

I eat 85% and 90% dark chocolate as part of my paleo diet and to reduce sugar cravings.
