    ^ This! My fiance offered me part of a candy bar and I sniffed it, for curiosity's sake. Even the smell was revolting. I started craving my chocolate-cinnamon fat bombs. :)

    You don't need willpower if you're satiated with good fats and proteins, low carb veggies. When is your meeting? Be sure to have a good, satisfying breakfast, and a filling lunch. Try having a good snack before your meeting.

    I just ate 2 tbs of whipped cream for calm down my cravings. 6th week on keto and today was my first day struggling with sugar craving.

    This was the first day for med too @virgogirlpr, and I'm a Virgo! Weird stuff happens! I managed by drinking a lot of extra water. I realize I figured wrong earlier, too much math on the fly for me! I have completed sixteen 8 ounce glasses of water and have one sitting beside me.

    Will probably be up all night, lol! But, I only had 7 total carbs!

    Don't look for the joy in the things you cannot have, but look for the joy in the things you can have.

    Tonight I had 2 Tbs of cream cheese with pecan bits and Stevia... and it wiped out my sugar craving instantly.
    Very satisfied! I have heard that if you are struggling with cravings, you are not taking in enough fat. I upped my fat intake, and wow... the cravings are disappearing!!! Fat... is actually removing my addiction to sugar!
    Also... try FAT BOMBS. I made some and keep in the freezer. I grab a cube when I am tempted to eat sugar.

    Try to remember that the sweets cravings are your body responding to an addiction ... You are trying to get clean ...

    The other reason you crave sugar could be emotional too - so when I have an emotional need - I make ️Keto friendly choices ... Pms boredom stress can make me want that sugary satisfaction faster than anything!

    That said when I have a craving I'll eat a fat bomb or make myself a half serving of bullet proof coffee. Diet root beer float made with blended ice 1 tbs cream and a diet root beer. Dark chocolate ( 1 or 2 squares with 11 almonds ) sugar free jello with whipped cream - this is my go to almost always because it's no work!
