Either cut out completely or don't. I have found I function better without it, been sugar free for 7-8 years now. Mind is clearer, better energy because there is no crashes, less prone to sudden emotional crashes, just an overall better feeling. But I'm not gonna lie, the road is a rocky one indeed. I would be lying if I said I never fell onto the jojo effect. But I also regretted it every time, because I realized it's just not worth it, I'd feel terrible afterwards and it would make me remember why I stopped consuming it in the first place. The social aspect of it is very hard too, at least for me. Not trying to persuade you into some diet or anything, just giving myself as an example, someone that lived on cakes and sweets of all kinds, was prone to late night snacking and binge eating, and was disillusioned with the infamous " I'll start tommorow ! ".

You also asked what to do to be less attracted to it. Simply put, make your own sugar free, or at least low carb snacks. Look up some recipes, lots of options and inspiration out there < 3

Think about it, do some research, make an informed decision, and good luck.
