- forgotmypw17 7y agoI think our current culture over-emphasizes "self-discipline" or "willpower" and doesn't admit the influence of our environment enough. Personally, as a nearly-life-long sugar junkie, I know that if I'm around a pile of cookies, it is difficult to resist, and will wear me down until I eat one, and then another, and then another... On the other hand, if there is no pile of cookies, there's no temptation or possibility of that happening. I have had much more success with adjusting my environment than with trying to exercise willpower.

- forgotmypw17 7y agoMy personal experience: After fasting, I do not start craving sugar unless I eat it again.
