With fizzy drinks I found it very easy to shift towards flavored seltzers instead of it's the fizz specifically. And if it's sodas... Zero sugar soda tastes 99% the same as regular due to the mix of multiple sweeteners. Totally different from diet sodas which usually just use one or two, usually aspartame which also has a strong aftertaste.
If possible for chocolate, higher quality products often will hit that craving better than the cheap candy bar type stuff with 5x the amount of sugar.
Be somewhat wary of artificial sweeteners, most of them are relatively new and so have unwanted side effects ore unknown side effect. (I geuss it's like vaping : better than smoking but not great). Some known ones include : cancer and obesity because you body cranks your calorie retention to the max (it sees a full can of something that tastes very much like sugar go in and no calories come out so it goes "wow, i'm really bad at extracting and storing energy. Let's improve that ! And you get fucked next time you eat sugar) anyways, as with everything, be mindfull with consumption
The aspartame cancer study is a complete joke. They fed those mice a x1000 higher concentration of sweetener than any human would ever eat
