I tend to avoid low-fat versions of foods because of the increase in sugar content. I'd rather have a smaller amount of the 'proper' versions.

Yes, I do believe that some food/drinks can be addictive. I used to drink lots of diet coke, 2, 3 or even 4 cans a day, and struggled to give it up. This went on for years and I used to really crave it. Last October I had the worst cold ever and lost my sense of taste for a few days, when it came back I drank some diet coke and didn't enjoy it.
