Fake sweetness question

Do you think that fake sweetness makes you want more of the same or even the real thing?
Or, is it just the carbs that make us crave carbs?
I've been off carbs for a while now, long enough to have lost cravings and I don't want to mess it up with fake stuff or stevia.
Thanks

I tend to crave sweet stuff regardless of whether I cut out the artificial sweeteners or not.  I have tried to limit my consumption though.  If it has helped, it was minimal for me.

Fake sweeteners leave me lacking.  It isn't even about the taste as much as the texture that real sugar gives food.  So for me, I just don't use either.  There is small amount so sugar in some of the things I eat, but I don't add it to anything.  I may have a bite or two of a real dessert every once in a while.  I am one of those folks who can eat just one potato chip or one bite of cake.

stevia is not a fake sweetner, I grow my own, it;s a green plant, that I don't put anything on (pesticides) Big food companies actually  add things that make you want to eat more, and yes, carb make me crave more carbs, so not going there.

I just want to understand correctly. Did you say that big food companies put stuff on stevia to make you want to eat more of it?
