Add more protein to the diet, but slowly, over time. If you live in Sweden, you should have no problem finding Swedish bitters. Taking those 15-20 minutes before a meal will help adapt your body to protein digestion after a long period of sugar intake. Then once you're metabolizing protein better, your body will have less sugar cravings. Your first meal of the day should be high protein.
Sugar is the easiest molecule for the body to use as fuel, and it's the easiest for digestive systems that are weak or sluggish. People with sugar cravings usually have problems digesting protein and fat, which is why I recommend the bitters.
Even just one drop of bitter on the tongue, as a flavour, will prompt the gut to start releasing digestive juices. The body responds really strongly to bitter. But I think actually ingesting bitter is the way to go, as a sort of aperitif.
You may also want to increase magnesium intake. Sugar and coffee strip the body of magnesium like nothing else (well, maybe alcohol). As magnesium gets low the nervous system potentials become less stable, energy is wasted, and catabolism is increased. Then sugar cravings start.
In 50 years we will look back on coffee drinking like we look at cigarette smoking now. It is so detrimental to the nervous system and the mineral balance of the body.
