If you don't get cravings for sweet stuff, then you're lucky.
I, and many others, associate chocolate with desserts and sweets. Having a small amount of this 90% chocolate does what I said, reduces my cravings for harmful sweets with LOTS of sugar.
Fruits are great, but they contain a LOT more sugar (per serving) than 4g. I do eat fruit (with plain yogurt and nuts) once a day, to balance my diet. And, I do feel having it after dinner is a good dessert replacement. It's not enough, though, to reduce my cravings for sugar.

- slau 2y agoI’ll have a craving for chocolate or something maybe once or twice per year, make a batch of cookies and that solves it. I’ve noticed it correlates with winter setting in and there being less sunlight available. I’m not trying to come off as a paragon of perfect food habits; I’m overweight like many others. It’s just that my diet never included desserts and very rarely sweet stuff. I also don’t consume fruits—I realise how much sugar they contain. I was just wondering it was specifically the *-ose your body was craving. Your answer seems to indicate it’s the dessert association more than the sugar per se.
