ok when you diet dont completely stop eating sweets eat less of them or any food that your not supposed to eat and then youll slowly just stop eating them because your body will get used to not eating them. like my mom is dieting and she eats something shes not supposed to like 2 times a week or so but she started with like everyday but little and then worked herself to eat less of it each time like as shes loosing more weight. the reason why you shouldnt stop feeding yourself certain cravings is the craving will become stronger like when you see certain foods your not supposed to eat then youll end up binging and whatever else so just start to work yourself off of the foods and your cravings should not stop but you wont crave as much. because when you diet or if you just want to try to eat healthier its always good to treat yourself so when you go to a party or something you dont end up eating an entire cake or something because you havent had it in awhile well ihope i helped and try that and see if it works for you it worked for my mom.

-Drink water. A lot of times when you feel like snacking, you are just thirsty.
-Eat a lot of small meals. That means eating small meals about every three hours.
-Cravings come a lot of times from boredom. Get out there and do something! Go swimming or biking! You'll be occupied and burn calories.
-If your craving doesn't go away in about 15 minutes, it probably means your hungry. Satisfy it with a healthy snack, like peanut butter and celery or granola.
-Stock up your fridge with healthy snacks. That way there will be nothing bad for you to crave. Pack some snacks when leaving home so you don't give into temptations of hot dogs and other unhealthy foods outside your home.
-Get your blood sugar levels tested by a healthcare professional. Some cravings come from an imbalance that when satisfied with bad foods, can cause damage and more severe cravings.
TIPS:
1. Adding daily supplements can help curb cravings if your body needs additional vitamins/minerals.
2. Pick foods that are natural, not that processed junk. (Foods in cans, plastic packaging, and have high fructose corn syrup. Shopping at local markets or natural grocery stores can help, since a lot of foods contain high fructose corn syrup.)
