My sweet tooth permanently went away after I did 34 days in a row on the Master Cleanse. Ever since I finished it, I don't want to eat or drink anything sweet. That was 5 months ago.

CURED!!  

Congrats. What cleanse did you do?

google Master Cleanse....
this is NOT BT/GT specific......it is a one size fit all registered TM

Mine has decreased since eliminating grains.  I'm actually loving parsnips and sweet potatoes.

I did the Master Cleanse and lasted 3 days. I hated it! It just made me want to chew food so I could "sweep" clean my digestive system. There is something inherently wrong with not cleaning the digestive system - it's just like cleaning the house - some friction is needed.

Since I eradicated candida 2.5 years ago, no more sweet tooth. I follow SWAMI and rarely eat the honey that is a diamond. Have it to soothe my throat if it's sore. I get stevia but don't want that either. Parsnips, sweet potatoes and carrots are plenty sweet for this tooth now!

Intermittent fasting has more or less "cured" my sweet tooth.  

Desserts don't bother me too much EXCEPT my daughter-in-law's pineapple upside down mini-muffins, pecan pie and egg custard. I just don't need to be around those three very often! About twice a year! Of course, I am talking about these three in their traditional versions. SWAMI has thrown pecans back into a black dot for me along with some other items that has me gritting my teeth! Hey, over there, we can't keep throwing out food because of these changes! Most of this stuff is expensive! I spent hours shelling all those nice, fresh pecans, do you hear? I think I am going to stay away from re-running that thing for a while! I don't like the idea of it sticking its nose over my shoulder when I'm eating something that was just fine yesterday but isn't today! ----Just joking, of course!  

Same here! I stopped eating sweets after I got braces in my 20s which probably helped keep the candida under control at the time. I would get sweet cravings ever so often but ever since the candida cleanse, I do not have any desire for sweets. I had 2-3 pieces of chocolate a day during Christmas season only because the candy box was in front of me but I do not get strong urges. I had 1-2 jelly beans (yes, a whole package of Jelly Belly would last me about a month or two) a day for about three days while watching t.v. My whole sweet splurge was more out of habit - family sitting around the t.v. with various snacks.

I crave salt more than anything else. I think this is because of my low blood pressure. I came in at 82/60 about a week and half ago.

I crave rice cakes or grain based snacks more than sugary stuff. My recent carb/starch craving was due to eating proteins and veggies without grains for almost a month. My body just wanted a more balanced diet, that is all.

The Doctor I go to, told me when we want something sweet after a meal it can be caused by not having enough digestive enzymes and the body is looking for an expansive food which sugar is.....   I also like something sweet.  Mostly I can satisfy with figs, dates, and peanut butter with jam.

I prefer real food to sweets, but they are addictive.
I rarely had sweets as a young child, so didn't develop the taste for them, but I suspect that if I were raised on them like most kids, I would have a sweet tooth.

If I do crave sweets, it usually is in the morning to eat fruit. I think it is a blood sugar thing as well as the fact that fruit is better on an empty stomach.
