Think of your body as a machine, that needs certain fuel to function. If you are denying it the right fuels, your blood sugar levels drop dramatically, and this is where `sweet cravings' come from. Eating a good breakfast (with some form of protein eg egg or yogurt/ milk =these are protein) will set you off in the right direction. Same with lunch; bread is just carbohydrate . . . you must have some protein like fish or chicken or [steak sandwhich] to keep the engine running!! Taking a good mulitvitamin/mineral supplement also helps. Vitamin C can never be overlooked!\nGood luck!

Look! You have to be strong for your self forget the friends! Do you want this? First of all this is not a quick process loosing takes time and focus with dedication. Instead of eating junk think of things that will take away your appetite like pickles. eat watermelon it fills you up and it is a water source. eat on a saucer rather than a bowel or normal size plate. Watch your calories and carbs when you think your hungry drink water or fruit. If you need sweets buy low fat sweets and try to wing your self away from them. do crunches at night 2 hours before bed and when you wake up in the morning, the more you tighten your stomache muscles the less you will want to it. Our stomache's are not big we stretch them by over eating. Focus and keep in mind that you can do it You are on control Not the weight! good luck!

Probably a few days...try a milkshake, protein shake or soup. You could even get a small food processor and mutilate your food, that way you could get the taste you crave.

I have cravings for sweets all the time, but when that happens, the best thing to do is to go for low-fat yogurt, your favorite fruit, or maybe whip up a smoothie. Try to stick to healthy foods. I'm not saying don't eat anything sweet, but try not to have it all the time. Having a sweet treat once in a while is okay, but have fruits and other good foods, too. Also, you can have a glass of water when you're craving something sugary. Water satisfies your stomach for a little while. Which will give you time to think of your next snack, or maybe even give you time to make dinner/lunch/breakfast! Hope this helps!!\n Email me back

Reduce sugars and simple carbs - that means reduce the donuts, the funnel cakes, the cookies and the white bread...\n\nInstead try\n\nWhole wheat bread/pasta, veggies, fruits\n\nEat more protein - skiness and fat free chicket breasts, tuna, salmon, beef (lean cuts like top sirloin and top round), fat free cottage cheese

Saying you are addicted is a total copout, but if you must indulge yourself, try the little fat free jell-o pudding snacks, and do yourself a favor, cut up a bananaor other fruit, in a bowl and mix it in the jell-o at least that way you are getting something with some nutritional value.  1 A DAY !!!  After a week or so try every other day.  People quit smoking, kick heroin habits, stop their alcoholism.  Comparatively, it only takes a little will power to give up the chocolate.

Try to eliminate all sugar to beat the sugar cravings.\nSomething I saw on Oprah which makes a lot of sense....\nYou need to be comfortable with that uncomfortable nagging feeling you get when you want to nibble.  That is when people sabotage their diet.  When you get that feeling, don't eat - that is when your body is losing weight.  \nI am trying to lose my pregnancy weight now too - I joined a gym with a daycare, and am trying to make better choices.  You can have snacks when you hit your goal weight. Your weight loss should motivate you to keep going, I love it when I fit into jeans I haven't worn in a while.  I lost 23 lbs and have 40 left to go.

Drink a glass of water.  Throw them out and then if you are still hungry try eating something good for you, like carrots or if that doesn't work, eat a few.  If you can just eat like 2 or 3 chips and throw it out, you can get the taste but not all the fat!

When I learned I was diabetic, I first tried to not eat any chocolate.  Then I discovered that just a small amount (half a dozen mini chocolate chips) would satisfy my craving without blowing my diet.  Something along this line might work for you, too.

Salad... but load it up with mushrooms, egg, lean ham or turkey, low-fat/non-fat cheese, sprouts, etc... No croutons.  Then use a light dressing like a balsamic vinegarette which you can make yourself... mustard, a dash of Splenda, salt, olive oil, and pepper blended well makes a good dressing too.  Fruit, unfortunately, has sugars in it.  Granted, they are better for you than pure cane sugar, to get your body off of the sugar addiction try eating more vegetables (raw, roasted, grilled), chicken with no sauce (just rub with seasoning), seafood, and beef. Then slowly allow yourself FRESH fruit, and you will see a major difference with your cravings. I'm completely off sugar now, and couldn't be happier with my health or weight!

Eating something that you really hate every time you get an urge to smoke should help.  If you start to associate cravings for cigarettes with something foul-tasting, then that might be a good thing for you.  \nSomeone that I knew quit cold turkey after many attempts.  The last "cigarette" he ever had was made up of a bunch of butts that he found around the house--and he said that smoking THAT cured him.
