Try brushing your teeth.

Definitely cut out sugar and fat from your diet where you can. Talk to your doctor about what your limits might be, then amp up your exercise regime, making sure you're keeping your heart rate aerobic when exercising. See this site for some good tips:\nhttp://www.smartgym.com/aerobicbpm.htm\nBe sure also that you're drinking enough water. Choose foods with a low-glycemic index, like oatmeal, that will help to keep your blood sugar level and will make you feel less hungry throughout the day. You can learn more about low-glycemic foods at http://www.glycemicindex.com/\nLastly, I doubt many would recommend trying to burn 100 pounds quickly, because you might rebound later and gain it all back. But exercising daily, eating small quantities of the right foods and drinking water (and nothing but) will really help you to reach your ultimate goal. Good luck! :)

Drink lots and lots of ice water, eat fruits and vegetables\nstay away from fried foods,fast foods, and anything with hydrogenated in it. Eating healthy will keep you satisfied longer and fruit will satisfy your Sweet tooth.\nRemember to take your vitamins, and go for walks every day.\n Good Lucy, Stay Healthy!

I've heard various things, like wait 10 minutes or go for a walk.  I'd say wait the 10 minutes and if you still have the craving, go ahead and have whatever it is but try and make it a small portion.  I don't think there's any real way to stop a craving - but I have also heard that after a couple weeks of not eating something (sugar, butter - whatever), you won't want it any more.  I've never been able to hold out long enough to test that theory!

carrots and ranch dressing are loaded with sugar!  Thats the way to beat your sugar addiction!  Er, wait. No its not.\nBut, it is better than refined sugars. get some of the diabetic candy, it tastes like ass, buy a bunch of it, replace all the other candy in your house.  It won't make you stop craving the sugar, but will make you not want to eat that nasty crap.  I think thats how it works. Like a negative reinforcemant thing.  Hey, thats a way!\nget a shock colar.  Everytime you eat some sugar, give it a zap.  Will work unless you are like into pain.  And, yw know, if ya are, write me.  LOL

Try drinking a bottle of water and waiting about 15 mins.  Lots of times our bodies are actually only thirsty, but trick us into thinking we are hungry, especially when craving sweets.

IF you are trying to loose weight, then yes its very taboo!  Drink a lot of water to curb the craving.  IF that doesn't work, then pick something lite-like a bowl of cereal.  You don't want to eat anything high fat late at night, your body won't burn it off.

i recommend certain types of organic teas without any sugar. there are teas for fasting and detox which do the trick. They usually contain dandelion and dont taste the best.

Cut all processed food and watch the weight fly off! In other words, shop only on the outer rim of the Supermarket :). Eat veggies, fruit, unprocessed meat, low fat dairy. Stay AWAY from white sugar, white flour, corn syrup. If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it! I lost 30 lbs eating this way. You would be amazed how much better you feel once you cut out sugar and white flour! You will have much more energy. Substitute your sugar intake with Stevia (300X sweeter than sugar) and no calories or carbs! It is natural and does not raise the glycemic index. Good LUCK!!

I can really relate. I love sugar!  I could eat it stragiht from the bag.  I quit cold turkey too.  It was helpful for me to eat equal or splenda straight from the packet if you could believe that.  It diminished the sugar cravings.  Once you feel the difference in your body after removing alot of sugar  you won't really crave it anymore.  I feel so much better than before and you will too.  Also drink alot of water.  Sounds crazy but for me peanuts help too.

believe it or not food cravings are like drug cravings and in fact stuff like caffine will keep you hooked. but as far as the beads and goodies go its natural of course to have the cravings but getting rid of that is up to you, drink LOTS of water because it fills you up and either eat some grapefruit r drink the juice because the citric acid helps burn fat, hope this helps.

Ok first off, calm down. This is simply nothing, just dont let yourself consuming anymore. Your body is simply craving for more energy, which means your diet is wrong. Best to eat full with 4 to 6 little snacks in a day. This keep you going with an energized body all the time without letting you slip off the routine. Now we have to plan how we are going to do this.\n At first, start with a journal what kind of food you're usually thinking of. If it's bad, replace it with something more healthy. Like when you're devastated for a coke, go make/buy yourself a nice strawberry smoothie that not only helps your sking but also your skin and diet. When think of a burger, take off a trip to your kitchen to make yourself a delicous sandwich filled with lettuce, 1 to 2 slices of fresh ham/turkey and a bit of nonfat cheese. See? Easy. Be creative and think of some more. Not only that, you also save your money by eating food that makes you slim. If you are desperately craving for food, that means something is wrong in your HEAD. Your brain is invaded with some sorts of stress. Think about it, why am i eating when i'm not even that hungry? Am I stressed about something coming up or already happend? You can certainly consulted to your psychologist about this too. Remember, control yourself in any circumstances.

If you can't stop snacking, pop a piece of sugarless gum in your mouth. Less than 5 calories and satisfying. :)

Eat sweet and tart fruits. They are soooo good. It helps me! Lemons, limes, bananas, tart apples, pineapple, especially strawberries! It cures your mouth's craving for sweet things and fills you up so you won't want much more. If you know how to make them, smoothies are also good!
