"I started regretting eating sweets late at night." sounds somewhat unnatural. This sounds as if both the "eating sweets" and the "regretting" are habitual (something they did often). For example, the speaker often ate sweets at night, and then developed a toothache which they didn't immediately get treatment for.
"I started to regret eating sweets late at night." sounds more natural. I understand this to mean that, the speaker is talking about a specific time they ate sweets at night and then suffered the consequences soon after. It could also be interpreted as habitual, depending on context.
For example, if the speaker is currently at a dentist appointment, and the dentist said "You have a cavity.", the speaker might say "At that moment, I started to regret eating sweets late at night all the time." In this case, the "eating sweets" is habitual, but the "regret" only occurred in the moment after the dentist mentioned the cavity.
