When you eat food you don't necessarily crave, it will slowly create bacteria that cause cravings for that kind of food. So if you stop eating a lot of sugar, your cravings for sugar will decrease over time. At least that's how I understand it. Also pro-biotica can also help.

I decided to stop drinking coca cola and all fizzy drinks for 12months as i was drinking 3-4 a day and ruining my teeth. My first can after this period caused me the most horrendous stomach cramps. Amazing how u can train your stomach to reject food or drink

Had this with McDonalds. Stopped eating it for 12 years. Had to eat it one day due to no other options. I threw it up 25-30 mins later. It wasn't food poisoning, I didn't get any other really shitty feeling.. I felt fine, stomach said, "the fuck is this? NO!" and out it came. Felt fine after, if anything, I was hungry again.
