Well at least part of the "addictive" part of food addiction is sugar, and that you can absolutely ditch.

    It's possible to cut out sugar, yes. But also keep in mind sugar is literally everywhere and the cheapest easiest food substance to access. It's on every menu, it's at the check out counter of every store, it's offered for free by coworkers bringing in treats or birthday cakes, offered in bowls at the exit from some restaurants or other businesses, it's thrown out at parades, given away on Halloween, etc. It's possible to avoid eating sugar, but avoiding temptation is basically impossible if you have a habit of leaving your home to work or shop. If you are addicted to sugar, it's a constant struggle.

    Do you mean added sugar? Because cutting out fruit and veg from your diet is pretty unhealthy.

    You can ditch any veg that's filled with sugar (corn, and a few others).

    An apple has fructose in it which is absorbed slower so if you don't abuse it you'd be fine.

    I'm mostly talking about refined sugar, if you are already living off fruits and vegetables I think you're fine.
