I eat everything that contains sugar. I try to avoid doing this too often, but the temptation is very strong. (Unlike with alcohol, even if I don't have anything sweet at home, I feel a desire to go and buy something.)

Substitutes for sugar are: alcohol, soylent. That is, when I drink alcohol or soylent, I no longer desire to also eat something sweet.

For what its worth - (unverified source) internet google searched image of - "craving foods and what it means" http://bluelyfetraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/foodcraving.png

I saw them a long time ago and kept it in the back of my mind that "cravings" are not always related to what you think you should eat.
