Indeed, and my experience is that the more you place yourself in a state where you burn ketones, the stronger your desire for sugar ramps up exponentially. I always break my keto fasts with natural sugar, for example. My desire for it is staggering.
I'm the opposite, after I cut my sugar consumption way down and did the keto thing, I no longer craved sugar like I once did. I now crave fatty meat and vegetables. If I do eat a sugary thing, it gives me a sour stomach as if I drank alcohol (I quit that too) and I swear not to eat that stuff again. I will have bread once in a great while and that is it as far as grain carbs.
My break fast comprises banana based smoothies, preferably sweet, ripe banana. Of note: I am not an excessive sugar eater. I just crave sugar after fasting.
