I have tried both strict Paleo and the keto diet, and not found this to be true in practice

Too bad... For me it was. First couple of weeks were challenging (with free pizza at work, donuts at coffee shops), but around week 3 I completely lost all cravings of sugar or starch.
Fun fact: one of the strongest withdrawals I have experienced was sugary drinks. To make matter worse it was just the middle of summer and drink of cold coke seemed to be a blessing. So I went to the store, bought a 6-pack of sugar-free semi-keto-friendly Coke, put it in the fridge and never took it back. Just the fact that I could get it whenever I want seemed to help :)
