I would either do the Atkins plan or the South Beach plan. Mainly, eat lots of protein for the next few days, as little carbs as possible, green ones. You will be full and after about 2-3 days the sugar urge will leave you and you will feel so much better. Protein choices are eggs, chicken, tuna, turkey, (stay white, stay lite) protein bars and protein shakes. Veggies choices green beans, lettuce, broccoli, celery and asparagus. Good fats: chedder cheese, mozzarella cheese sticks, lite cream cheese, peanut butter, skim milk and whole butter (I do not use the fake stuff, I would rather have a pat of butter than 1/2 cup of fake butter.) I also use sugar free jello puddings made with skim milk and protein powder or the 60 calorie packs in the refrigerator section at the grocery store. Pick a protein and a fat for breakfast, protein and veggie for lunch, protein and veggie for dinner, eat the pudding, cheese sticks and peanut butter as snacks (3 a day). If you will stick with this for 3 days you will be detoxed off the sugar and carbs until you put them back into your body again. Then the cravings start again.
