A daily piece of quality chocolate is probably fine, maybe even beneficial

Sugar and sweets are one of the hardest addictions to break. It is a slow-acting poison that makes connections in the brain’s reward center, usually from childhood. I suggest trying to eat whole fruit

Honestly I didn't drop sugar until one day I drank a bit too much sweet drinks. Straight up made me feel the worst I've ever fucking felt for a week.
I can't consume too much sweet stuff ever since. I tried a milkshake and a cake piece yesterday and it still made me feel super shitty…
But seriously though, OP, maybe you just need to eat different things like the other Nona said. You're not overweight, and if you're on the lighter side, maybe you're not getting enough carbs, protein or fiber from elsewhere?
On the list of other potential reasons: too much stress, not enough sleep, not drinking enough water, etc…

Had to quit sugar myself because I got too close to diabetes. It was hard at first but eventually your brain rewires itself.

It is due to blood sugar.
• blood sugar goes up
• insulin goes up
• sugar goes down
• sugar goes below normal
• you feel bad and need more sugar
It might be related to mental illness too, as your brain gets more energy during a sugar high it alleviates it, so soon sugar becomes your crutch. You don't necessarily have to eat sugar to cause this either, starchy foods can have the same effect.
The solution is to manage what you eat so your blood sugar is above normal but not too high. In short, eat beans. Beans have a low glycemic index meaning they release sugars into the blood gradually. There are other foods with low glycemic index but none are more convenient and abundant than beans. Beans can be friends.
This also alleviates sugar cravings, because you don't go into panic mode, though it takes a measure of willpower to wean yourself off sugar.

try to eat vegetables instead, like something crunchy. Carrots or green stick things, apples in slices or pears even. Eat fruits BEFORE 4pm and drink a lot of water nona.
