I haven't had it yet, but my thought is that the farther you are out from the bad foods the less you will crave them. Hang in there!!!

How far are you out?

Give it some time and the cravings will go away. Good luck

find a yogurt with some flavor that has help me like right now i am eating a non fat yogurt BOSTON CREAM PIE not to bad 90 cal and it has 10grams of sugar but anyway that's my little tip on the sweet bug

good suggestion by vembraleigh -- another thing I do is take my plain greek yogurt and mix in reduced sugar strawberry or apricot preserves to sweeten it up. sugar free popsicles and jello can be a nice diversion too.

Lick something without swallowing it. The craving sits on your tongue and in your head - your tummy doesn't need the actual substance.
Worth a try.

I didn't crave sweets, i craved FOOD and still am. I am so tired of this bland, monotone food that I don't know what to do. I will be glad when I can sit down and have a balanced meal. Never thought I would crave vegetables. i want some spinach and greens so bad. I have chewed some meat, but not swallowed it and that took away that craving.

I would like some frozen yogurt too, but that is not a craving that is taking me over the edge. I want to CHEW something..lol

I have had some of the weirdest cravings....
spam and cheese on a cracker
salad
kale chips
anything crispy really....

Chewing sugar-free popsicles helped with the need to gnaw for me. Just a suggestion. I'm totally with you though...the desire to chew is intense!

SPAM! My kryptonite!

For chewing, I like the SF popsicles. Sonic has great ice also! You may just be having sugar withdrawals, or could it be head hunger? I just tell myself that I do not want to fail so I stick very close to my food choices.

Good luck!
