I've had a long running problem with my sugar tooth. And I've had to take similar steps. I've switched to sugar free/low sugar chocolate/ice cream/candy, and it's helper a lot.
Sure, they aren't great for me either, but in comparison it's way better for me.
Yep, "perfect is the enemy of good".
Sometimes you can make the direct jump, sometimes you need to give yourself smaller steps.
A lot of things like mixed berries are already delicately sweet enough or even pushing on oversweet to me (blueberries, strawberries, sometimes blackberries) and can satisfy your fructose and glucose tooth without much harm because it has the fibre to help slow things down a bit
Yeah, I always try to have some berries with breakfast in part because of that.
Though the days I have to go into work in person make that a lot harder.
Whys that? Can't you keep a bag in the freezer or bring a cooler or something?
I just don't have the time/energy to prepare lunch most of the time.
At least while working from home, I'm already up and moving and have my kitchen right next to me.
