Run BTS Telepathy part 2

*Disclaimer:

This is just me sitting here at 4 am watching Run BTS cause Riley had to wake me up at 2:30 am and I couldn’t fall back asleep. Anything I post at this point is not my responsibility and being posted under the influence of my hazy sleep deprived mind.

Be warned !!!

So....

I’m watching the episode and this happens:

Like, I get it JM, you want them to think the same as you. You’re practicing your powers of telepathy.

Ehm... especially on Jungkookie?

Didn’t see you go doing your mind games on the others.

With them it was:

and

But there is someone that always gets that very special treatment.

The way he grabs JK’s head...

But JK’s reaction, omg, JK’s reaction.

And I know my mind might be hazy and all, but if this wasn’t JK puckering his lips into a kiss Idk what is.

Well, he could always be pouting angrily that JM had the damn nerve to target him out of the lot for his telepathy session... Yeah-nah.

And you know what makes me believe even more that JK was either about to kiss JM or actually did (air kiss, chilax guys)?

The way even as he moved away from JM, and when I say moved away, the boy couldn’t seem to put enough distance between him and JM (he literally took 5 steps back) JM just stood there looking at JK, probably still in shock, maybe digesting what just went on there.

And to those that would go (add the annoying voice over here) “oh, but that’s JK being uncomfortable with JM that always forces himself on poor little ol’e JK. Save JK from JM”...well, JM didn’t force JK to pucker up his lips to kiss him (yes, air kiss, I heard you the first time).

JK pulled back because well that’s what JK does when it gets a little too heated at the wrong time, lol. And he left, what I think to be, a shook JM. Took JM a couple of seconds to snap out of it.

Also, and this was before the whole bring head closey closey and lip puckie puckie, but for someone that supposedly doesn’t like JM, he sure does try to put his hands on the man a lot. Sadly this attempt ended in failure, due to his man’s sense of humour or need to laugh. Darn that laughing bf of his, lol.

When I said no one else got that same treatment, Hobi got a hand shake and this is what the soulmate got:

None of the others got this:

And in return JM got this:

And yes, this is slowmowed, come at me, but you can see it without the slowmow, that lip puckering, and the speed of lightening he snaps out of it too.

In my books I think this can easily join the pantheon as one of THOSE Jikook moments.

request: “hi! i saw reqs are open and you write for yttd so hi! this is my first time requesting but yttd deserves more hype 🥺 can you write about sou/shin who wants cuddles but his s/o (female or gn is fine) is as much as a workaholic as him, so they don’t give in to him and keep coding away on their computer? no pressure at all, thank you ☺️❤️” by

a/n: this was my first yttd request^^ i really like sou/shin as a character ;; (though i did end up saving kanna) his whole 0% chance and the midori/shin/sou twist was so good!! i really want to replay saving him instead of kanna^^

warning: spoilers for chapters 2 and 3 of YTTD;; also; jm sleep deprived and my mental state ?? nonexistent

word count: 1780

- You and Sou had met during the Death Game and had grown closer during the second floor, having spent most of your time trying to help Kanna and, in return, spending more time with Hiyori.

- At first, your relationship had been rocky— you had all woken up in a strange place and tasked with trying to survive, he was rather stubborn and kept you often times at an arm’s length but, with enough work on your part fueled by stubbornness and a desire to get to know the teal-haired man, you soon were able to get to know him better.

- Out of everyone in the game Hiyori and you were the closest, and Kanna of course too, and as much as Sou might’ve wished it didn’t happen, your relationship soon took a romantic turn. He still had moments of doubt, and a selfish part of him wishes he never cared about you, growing to care about anyone in a situation like this wasn’t smart, but he did.

- You were determined to find a way out, much like him, and were willing to pour your all into finding a way to escape the facility and Sou admired that about you, and so he decided he’d work hard to find a way for you two to escape no matter what.

- With both of your missions set out, it wasn’t surprising to say you both weren’t taking care of yourselves much; work, work, and more work needed to be done to find a way to escape and figure this whole thing out.

- Sou was good with computers and, much to his surprise, so were you; so both of you ended up dividing the work between each other. You’d normally work with the monitors near the price exchange stand while your boyfriend would spend most of his time in his room with Kai’s laptop.

- Your work felt endless, lines of code and numbers and letters; all becoming more jumbled as your eyes grew tired but you couldn’t give up; not only was your survival on the line but also of the ones you’d grown to care for, especially Kanna and Sou.

- You had spent hours typing away on the monitors trying to trace back a starting point or figuring out how to access them without having to spend any chips (much to the receptionist doll’s amusement). You knew you probably weren’t making much progress if he hadn’t gotten mad at you yet and that only grew to frustrate you more.

- Your fingers hurt from typing and clicking away in the small, cramped keyboard you’d found in the ruble— the fact Kai didn’t have an AI either only frustrated you more, if he’d had one maybe you could’ve learned more from him. You could only hope his AI was somewhere within the code, if he even had one.

- Determined to crack the code, you simply take the worn down laptop you’d been using and leave; no one had made a move to stop you, the floor master clearly didn’t care enough if you took it with you to bed. And so you do.

- It was getting late, Sou noted as he looked at the clock that hung from the gray walls in his room. You should’ve come by hours ago telling him about what you’d found— that’s what you’d always done at least.

- At the realization you weren’t coming, the teal-eyed man grew slightly concerned, maybe you had found out something Gashu or Ranger didn’t want you to and- no way, if he had come this far then you surely could too… right?

- He doesn’t realize he’s standing up and making his way to your room until he’s knocking on the door.

- He hears a grunt from the other side and takes it as a yes. He knew you well enough to know what you were doing but it still took him by surprise to see your hunched over figure typing away in the small, old laptop you’d found in the monitor room.

- He furrowed his eyebrows but didn’t move from his spot in the doorframe. He stared at your concentrated face and wondered if you’d always had this work ethic or if you were just worried about leaving the facility, were you a good worker before? He thinks of the past for a moment and feels his chest squeeze, if there was one good thing about this hellhole it was having met you, he thinks to himself.

- But still, the thought of a past where suffering wasn’t even imaginable has him wondering how your lives would’ve been, would you two have met? Could you two have been coworkers? Would everything align to make you lovers like it had now?

- At the thought, Sou found himself growing uncharacteristically soft. In the short time you two had been together you never really did anything, well, couple-y at all, due to the circumstances it wasn’t a shocker but he wanted to try changing that… he wanted to try being more affectionate with you.

- You still hadn’t noticed him standing in your door, so he decides to approach you. Quietly making his way near your desk, he places a hand in your shoulder and gives it a squeeze earning a shocked gasp and jump from you.

- “You should go to bed.” Sou mumbles to you from beneath his scarf.

- “Ah, Sou… you scared me!” You laugh off his comment, “I’m working right now but once I’m done I’ll go to sleep, don’t worry.”

- “It’s late, you shouldn’t even be thinking about coding right now.” He insists, if he was correct you’d been working on the laptop for 9 hours straight- as much as he admired your determination you needed to rest.

- You don’t even answer him back this time, busy typing away and scrolling through the seemingly endless rows of numbers and your boyfriend sighs and sits on the edge of your bed. If you continued like this you’d end up knocking yourself out- at least like this you’ll have someone to catch you.

- You don’t give his actions much thought; if he wanted to sit down and you type away on the computer then so be it; as long as he didn’t bother you. But bother he did, if there was one thing Sou could pride himself in other than his computer skills it was how annoying he could be if he really wanted to.

- “[Name]”, he groaned, “come to bed, just seeing you so busy gets me tired. Let’s cuddle, eh?”

- He wasn’t the most affectionate of all guys, you both knew that, it’s not that he didn’t want to be physically close with you but rather… he just didn’t feel like it. Maybe if he tempted you with hugs you’d be shocked and say yes?

- “Mhm, just a sec.” You don’t even look behind you when you speak, much to his dismay.

- “Come on! Don’t you want to be close with your boyfriend? It’ll be our first time sharing a bed! We’ll be close- you could be the small spoon or the big spoon I don’t care!”

- “Sou, please- I love you, but can you please just shut up for a second?”

- “Don’t be so cold!” He groaned, “Don’t you just want to, ya’ know~, spend some time with your boyfriend!”

- “I am spending time with you… now please just be quiet.”

- Sou was starting to get on your nerves with his endless chatter, so in return- you continued typing (quite aggressively).

- He went on for almost an hour, offering you hugs and kisses- basically anything as long as you stopped working and just went to bed. The more he tried convincing you with offers the more needy he grew, damn; he really, really wanted to cuddle you to sleep right now.

- You looked tired, your posture only worsening. Enough is enough, Hiyori thought, so he stood up and walked behind you and tapped your shoulder to get your attention.

- “Sou, I told you-!”

- Your words are cut short by him closing the laptop and grabbing your hand, leading you to bed with him.

- “Stop complaining, you’re going to work yourself to the bone.” He mutters, “and honestly? I don’t feel like dating a skeleton.”

- “Tch! Just let me finish this-!”

- “You said that like half an hour ago.” He says, he looks at you with worried eyes and you halt, “Don’t you know how late it is?” You look at the clock in your room; 2AM. You’d been working nonstop since midday…

- “Take your shoes off, we’re going to sleep- now.” He instructed you and you obliged, slowly blinking trying to adjust to the less intense light from the room as you slip off your shoes and get ready for bed.

- It was late… and your bed was looking more and more appealing. You finished taking your socks off and glance at your laptop. Once you’re done, you look down to meet teal-eyes looking at you expectantly. He pats the mattress, motioning you to lay beside him and, once again, you do. You’d scold him about shutting the laptop tomorrow… geez, had you been this tired a few minutes ago.

- A yawn escapes your mouth and Sou laughs; “I told you- you were tired.”

- He throws an arm around you, pulling you closer to him. Your face is pulled near his chest and he holds you like that for a while.

- You both say nothing as you rest, your head above his heart allowed you to be lulled into an even deeper rest. His hands rest on your back, his finger drumming as if he was typing away and you smile at the nonsensical rhythm.

- “You know, I didn’t really think cuddling with you would be this nice.” He comments, breaking the silence and earning a shove from you.

- “Screw you, Hiyori.” You laugh, “You're not so bad yourself.”

- The room is dark, the lights off, only your breaths can be heard. You take off his beanie, he only grumbles in response, so you could run your fingers through his hair.

- He giggles slightly, earning a tired smile from you. You wonder how different your relationship would be outside of the death game. There were times you forget you’re in constant danger, in moments like these- where you’re alone and calm, with Sou, it’s so easy to let your guard down, to forget about the severity of it all. You yawn once more, damn; you were tired.

- “You can sleep,” Sou mumbles, his voice rough with fatigue, “‘m gonna… sleep too”

- “Good night, Sou,” you peck his cheeks and, even in the dark light, you can see a slight blush glowing from his cheeks.

he stole their dino nuggies (/j I swear it was the first thing that popped into my head and jm sleep deprived so it was a hilarious image-)

Lol.

I’m thinking maybe jealousy or something? Cus Masky and Hoodie were the only Proxies in the mansion at the time.

Masky probably wasn’t that too pleased when the others moved in, and Hoodie probably didn’t really care. But neither of them were happy when Toby moved in.

Cates, I dare you to make me feel a genuine emotion with your run of Venom. Anything. Make me laugh, feel tense, get sad. I haven’t felt captivated yet and you’ve had more than enough time.

I’m not saying that every run of every comic needs to make me cry. But goddamn it I haven’t felt a thing so far. My wing kink kicking in for a few pages when Venom had wings doesn’t count.

I’ve been reading some Fantastic Four, and it’s been great. I care about all the characters, the plots have been engaging and I haven’t felt bored. The JMS run of Amazing Spider-Man was wonderful. I cried, I laughed, I was on edge, and I genuinely wanted Peter and MJ to find their way back to each other. Reading the Young Avengers made me feel that for a moment, maybe Love really could save the universe. The artwork in Dr. Strange and the Sorcerers Supreme kept me glued to each page. Mark Waid’s run on Daredevil was so emotional at parts and was a pleasure to read. Fraction’s Hawkeye was a roller-coaster of a good read. Venom: Space Knight has scenes I still think about months after reading it. Saga has great world building, Chew is fucking hilarious, Sex Criminals has a fun premise and execution, Outcast has a good horror vibe, Injection has a creative world... Comics can do so much.

But with this run I haven’t felt a damn thing. Not one single emotion that wasn’t frustration or anger at the writing. I’ve just been reading it. Issue 10 almost maybe made me feel a thing, but then I just realized that that too was just frustration and sleep deprivation. Everything feels hollow and performative to me. I haven’t felt anything with this story. Anxiety and dread over what character will be mercilessly killed off next for no reason does not count. Make me feel something. Please. You say you want the longest run on Venom, longer than anyone one else. Fine. Make it worth it. Stop trying to make every aspect of Venom yours and tell a damn good story. Show half a shard of respect to the past characterizations and take some time to edit. Slow down and write an engaging narrative. Don’t put over half the plot in side books and tie ins. Stop contradicting yourself every other issue. Quit building in plot holes the size of black holes. It’s not a race to see how dark, gritty, and edgy you can be. Tell a joke, or five. Horror isn’t horror because it’s shocking.

Every author has a shitty book or arc. Earn those 40 issues, because if it were up to me, I would have moved to cancel halfway through The Abyss.

I’m not tagging this because negativity in tags is something I try to avoid, and this was more a person opinion than something I want looked at by every critical eye in the fandom.

Imagine #1 // JM

Multicolored strobe lights flashed wildly, illuminating the faces of the hundreds of sweaty students that were all jammed into the smaller gymnasium in your high school. A fog had misted the windows, the same substance that coated the walls during the summer left behind: a mixture of sweat contributed by everyone in attendance. It was very hard to focus on one thing in the smoggy heat. You seemed to travel in and out of consciousness. Maybe due to the heat, or maybe due to the fact that you hadn’t slept more than a total of ten hours over the past two weeks.

Usually, it was easy to ignore your exhaustion; you were an all around expert at masking it. ‘Oh, sorry I’m just a little stressed’ or ‘I didn’t have time to stop for coffee this morning’. You also could usually count on a steady flow of adderall, supplied to you without a prescription and introduced to you as uppers.

It was impossible to focus on too many things at once but the little orange pills were on your mind. This was mostly because your stock was going to be replenished tonight and your body was going numb as your date supported most of your body weight. You were slow dancing despite the electrifying bass shaking the floor and you couldn’t imagine he was having a better time than you but you couldn’t bring yourself to care. You were just too tired. Too tired.

A warm body behind you, however, caused you to jolt out of your slumped state as you spun a little too fast out of one set of arms and into the other. You would recognize his presence anywhere especially when you were so deprived of your main source of energy; a source that he provided. Jason McCann. He was an all around “bad boy” around your school, but most of it was riding his skate board through the hall, getting detention and disrespecting teachers. The worst things he did were outside of school.

The day you made Jason McCann your drug dealer, he caught you after a particularly late night studying.

You held your head down as it pounded idly in rhythm with your footsteps. Not only had you been studying for an AP Spanish test the night before but you had to rewrite your paper if you wanted an A instead of a C. You needed an A instead of a C. It was halfway through first period, in which you were a teaching assistant for your freshman english teacher. All you had to do was call her and she was fine with marking you there even if you weren’t. Jason McCann, however, should have been in whatever intermediate class he had instead of walking toward you.

If your mother had just gotten you a printer instead of a car for your birthday like you’d asked, you could have avoided him all together. Alas, that pesky rewritten paper needed to be printed before your class second period and the library was the only place you could do so. Damned car.

“Whoa, what happened to you, princess? Looks like you had a wild night,” instead of your name, which McCann had known since freshman year when you met in gym class, he always called you princess. For some reason he thought this fit better and no matter how many times you corrected him, he would never change his annoying nickname. “Maybe you’re not as innocent as I think you are, huh?”

You sent a particularly nasty glare his way, knowing that you should have just left it at that and ignored him. Something about him just set you off. Maybe the fact that he had no respect for anyone, or that he couldn’t just use your god damned name once in his life. Either way, you had to say something back, almost as bad as you had to get that A, “Would you leave me alone, McCann? I was up studying late. Something you know nothing about obviously.”

“What’s that supposed to mean, princess?” Despite the strong exterior Jason always presented, the intimidating gangster he tried to be, you’d seen, many times, a side of him that he didn’t often show. For some reason, whenever you made any sort of assuming statement about his grades or studies, he had to respond. You knew he wasn’t dumb but he just pissed you off with his arrogant attitude and that was he only thing he responded to.

“I don’t know, McCann. Maybe the fact that there’s class going on right now, class you’re supposed to be in, gives me the impression that you’re not interested in doing anything important with your life. Not just me but other people at this school, too,” you knew you shouldn’t have said it and by the look on his face and his flushed cheeks, he was about to make you regret it.

“Or maybe you could not make assumptions just because your so perfect you literally can’t see past the book your nose is always in-“ he wanted to continue, rightfully so, and would have, but when your body swayed with the built up exhaustion of two days with a combined four hours of sleep, he was quick to catch you. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” you snatched yourself out of his strangely inviting embrace and fought harder to hold yourself together. “I told you I was up late studying, did I not?”

“You did,” the conversation shifted into silence as Jason began studying my features in a strangely mechanical fashion. As always, I was trapped under his gaze as he did this and the hall was silent until he spoke again. “I might have something that can help you…if you want. And you promise you won’t snitch on me, princess.”

In a second, he pulled a clear plastic baggy of inviting orange pills from an inside pocket of his jacket. They almost looked like candy, but you knew instantly what they were. At this point, something to get you through this day didn’t seem too bad. No matter what the consequences. “They’re free this time, a sample, since I’m sure you’ve never done this before,” he chuckled before grabbing my hand and discreetly transferring the bag from his hand to mine. “If you decide you like them you can come back for more, I get a new shipment every other Sunday.”

You knew you were going to lose this information so you quickly thought of a question to ask to make it stick: “Why Sunday?”

Jason grinned, “It’s the one day I go to church.”

He had to leave it at that when the bell rang and the hall soon filled with your fellow classmates. It was then that you rushed off to the library, narrowly making it to turn in your paper.

His hazel eyes gleamed invitingly under the lights, they were almost as inviting as the little baggy you could feel rustling somewhere in his jacket. Unlike most of the guys in the room, Jason didn’t wear a suit. When you’d asked him to make your delivery to the prom, he had told you he wouldn’t. It was extremely refreshing to see his signature varsity jacket. It had nothing to do with your school but instead proudly displayed the name of the gang he supposedly ran with.

Jason licked his lips, “You don’t look so good, princess,” he said softly as he studied your features just as he had that day. You pouted, unable to audibly respond, though you surely attempted. “No, really, Y/N, how long have you been awake for this time?”

After a couple mumbled sentences, which he disregarded, you were able to mumble out, “You…didn’t call me princess.”

Jason laughed at that but quickly silenced when you collapsed into his arms. He tried to wake you by calling your name, his arms securely around your waist as he rubbed your back. After a good thirty seconds, though, he picked you up, ignoring your date’s lame attempt at stopping him from carrying you out of the heat.

He groaned as your thin heels fell off your feet and under his, snapping under the joint weight of the both of you. He would buy you a new pair later, but in this moment he had a singular goal which was to get you to his car. Jason left your door open as he practically dumped you in the passenger seat and went around to sit in the drivers seat. Sitting in silence with your passed out body was adding exponential amounts of anxiety to him to the point where he was forgetting basic functions such as breathing and blinking.

Just as he was about to call 911, he noticed all the notifications he had gotten since he’d found you at the prom. His friends were extremely confused, he’d never taken this long on a delivery and they were as close to involving the cops as he was. Jason took a deep breath and sighed as an incoming call caused him to jump, but he wasn’t able to accept it before you jumped up as well in the seat next to him. You watched as he declined the call, looking around, dazed, before putting a hand to your aching head.

“Where are my shoes?,” these first words out of your mouth again had him laughing at you. You groaned, “Not so loud.”

“You realize that you just passed out at prom for a good two minutes and the first thing you’re worried about is your shoes?,” he shook his head, raising his eyebrows at your absurdness. “How long has it been since you’ve slept, princess?”

You groaned over at him, unable to think in your current state, “Uh… a week? I slept for at least… four hours?” He was still shaking his head as he started the car and pulled out of his parking spot, “W-where are we going?”

“For a drive. You can take a nap,” you didn’t know what to say as he pulled out of the parking lot and down a street you’d never even heard of. He looked over and caught your startled eyes, the smirk on his face still visible under the low light of street lamps, “And by you can, I - of course - mean go to fucking sleep, Y/N,” he chuckled to which you followed suit, shaking your head at him and resting your head back against the seat.

But I do agree that humanity has a stubborn streak to rival your own - they don't give up and they don't quit and neither do you. I admit to a (slightly grudging) admiration in that regard. There's no wonder Deity!JM would much rather make his way among humans than sit in the clouds and listen to a bunch of powerful privileged beings and their constant bickering

“good good, was gonna ask if you were/did do that already.”

How Long Does It Take Get Rid of Sugar Cravings After Going Keto?

One of the purported benefits of a keto diet is that it will help tame unwanted sugar cravings. On the surface, it makes sense. If you want to get rid of sugar cravings, stop including a bunch of sugar in your diet. Out of sight, out of mind.

Or does it make sense? Maybe following a ketogenic diet where even nutrient-dense carbs are limited turns sweet foods into forbidden fruit (no pun intended). Sugar could theoretically become even more tempting because you can’t have it.

So which is it? It’s clear that for a lot of people, keto does kick sugar cravings to the curb. There is abundant (anecdotal) evidence from the Keto Reset community and indeed across the keto-sphere that keto works to quash cravings and hunger. Empirical studies back this up. Compared to other diets, people find it easier to stick to their goals on keto. It’s one of the big reasons keto is so popular right now.

Of course, the next question people always ask is: How long does it take?

When Can I Expect My Sugar Cravings to Vanish?

It takes two to three days of very-low-carb eating for the liver to start pumping out ketones, and research shows that cravings are significantly reduced almost immediately as people get into ketosis. The “expert” consensus seems to be that cravings will decrease noticeably within three to ten days.

Don’t expect cravings to vanish into thin air, though. While many folks do feel significant relief from cravings almost right away, not everyone is so lucky. There is a lot of individual variability, and some people do find that their cravings are as strong as ever—or stronger—on keto. Although there’s not much research that speaks to why some people get relief where others do not, my hunch is that it depends on the root cause of your sugar cravings.

One reason you might crave sugar is simply that you’ve trained your body to rely on sugar for energy—you’re carb-dependent. Perhaps it’s not the sugar you crave specifically, so much as the energy it provides. In that case, you should notice your desire for sugar is significantly reduced as soon as your body starts to produce ketones. Moreover, I’d expect it to get easier and easier to avoid sugary treats as you become more keto-adapted.

Sugar cravings can also be conditioned (learned) responses. Decades of experience have taught you that eating sugary treats is comforting and enjoyable. You’ve come to have a strong positive association with sugar. In some ways, you might think of eating sugar as a very entrenched, reinforced habit you need to break. Habits can be broken, but it takes weeks or months, not days.

The complicating factor here is that sugar is not just pleasant or fun to eat, it’s also physiologically rewarding. Sugar activates neurological reward pathways, creating a physiological drive for more sugar.

For some people, sugar is so rewarding that it feels like an addiction. These are the folks who struggle the most. The question of whether sugar is a true addiction, on par with other addictive substances like nicotine, alcohol, and certain drugs, is hotly contested. Academic debates aside, many people experience sugar, and quitting sugar, as an addiction. They struggle mightily even when motivation and intention are high. One “relapse” can send them spiraling. There is no doubt that there are physiological drivers at play that keep the desire for sugar burning so hot in these individuals.

All this is to say: It’s different for everyone.

What If You’ve Been Keto For a While, Yet You’re Still Struggling with Sugar Cravings?

What does “a while” mean? As I mentioned, it takes only a matter of days for your liver to start producing ketones once you drop your carbs low enough. The full process of keto-adaptation can take months, though. A recent review concluded that while fat-oxidation rates and ketone production increase significantly in the first week or two of keto, it can take months for the whole body to become efficient at using ketones for energy.

You don’t want to wait that long, though. There are other things you can do to fight back against sugar cravings. First, make sure you are properly fueled. Caloric restriction increases the reward value of food. That means you’re more drawn to food, especially palatable foods, when you’re eating in a caloric deficit, at least at first. That’s one of the reasons I suggest eating plenty of fat and sufficient calories when transitioning to keto.

If you’re also restricting calories, chances are your cravings will diminish according to this meta-analysis, but it will happen slowly over the course of months. (The analysis also showed that it gets easier and easier over time. Good news if you can stick with it.)

It’s Not Always About the Food

Next, ensure you have your lifestyle ducks in a row. Sleep deprivation and chronic stress have been shown time and time again to cause sugar cravings as the body scrambles for quick energy. Even dehydration and boredom can trigger hunger and cravings. If you want to get rid of sugar cravings, you need to practice good self-care.

You crave sugar due to the hormonal response to those stressors, but don’t underestimate the comfort factor here, too. It doesn’t feel good to be sleep deprived, stressed, and bored. There’s a good chance you’ve used sugar in the past to lift your spirits. If you’re using sugar to self-soothe, you also need to develop better coping mechanisms.

Dig deep and look at what really underlies these sugar cravings. I suggest you start journaling about your cravings. Each time a sugar craving hits, make a note of the following:

How you’re feeling (bored, anxious, nervous, angry, etc.)

Time of day

Hunger: what time you last ate, and what you ate

Where you are

Who’s around

Any other clues to possible triggers.

After a week or two, you might be able to spot some patterns. If it’s obvious that there are specific trigger(s) like time of day, workplace stress, or fatigue that precede your cravings, work at developing other coping methods that aren’t food-related. Solve the root problem. Meditate, exercise, drink a glass of water, eat an actual meal or snack with some protein and healthy fat.

Finally, try a period of cold turkey if you haven’t yet. Eliminate all sweeteners, even keto-friendly ones like stevia. Look at your fruit and beverage habits. See if you’re still using “sweet” even if you’ve eliminated the major sources of refined sugar from your diet. On the flip side, if you’ve been cold turkey, consider allowing yourself some low-glycemic fruit, for example. Maybe being too restrictive doesn’t work for you. Try to find your personal sweet spot.

Check out this Mark’s Daily Apple post for more concrete ideas for managing cravings.

If you have tried the strategies I suggested, you’ve given yourself enough time to be fully keto-adapted, and you truly feel addicted, it might be time to seek out a doctor, nutritionist, or therapist that specializes in sugar dependency. For you, there might be physiological factors at play that mean you need additional support.

Remember, though, that occasionally wanting or even craving sugar doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. Don’t beat yourself up. You might need to adjust your strategy, or it might just be a blip on the radar. Once you’re metabolically flexible, you can decide on a case by case basis how to respond.
