    When that happens to me, I drink tea. There's this one that's vanilla and caramel flavored that really calms my sweet tooth.

    You're going to need to make a decision: eat some of what you're desiring or not. Go further over your calorie limit or not. It's up to you.

    You could always distract yourself from obsessing on food by doing something physical or changing your immediate surroundings, but ultimately you need to make peace with your calorie goal. Maybe it's too severe?

    I sometimes go to bed early for the sole purpose of not giving into cravings.

    For a lot of people cravings, and the suppressing of them, is a matter of will power.
    If you still have the craving, tell yourself you will work it into your calories tomorrow. Tonight munch a few veg.

    Cheers, h

    alot of it really is mind over matter (and practice makes that easier you'll be glad to know!)....keep busy.....drink water.....find something to do....be strong! if you've had enough calories today you know you don't need to eat any more.

    Hey - when food cravings are really bad - I normally do a short workout - 15 to 30 minutes. It frees up some calories, but also curbs my appetite. Of course water, coffee and tea are a great option. Stay strong & good luck!!!

    OP's profile doesn't state where she's from. It might not be late where she is, because of timezones. She also might have different waking and sleeping hours - maybe she works nightshift? Sleeping to ignore cravings is a good idea but it's best not to presume things.

    probably needs looking into deeper as some have suggested, but until you work out what is the reason for the cravings, (sometimes I think boredom and habit are the answer) I find that brushing my teeth, mouthwash then a good rubbing in of a scented hand cream helps. I hate the taste of almost everything else when I've brushed my teeth, and the scent and moisture of hand cream tends to put me off unwrapping or touching food, I also rub the cream into elbows and knees, (only for cosmetic reasons) while I'm at it as it takes up a bit of time not thinking about food lol. My skin and teeth and gums are benefitting too. Hope it helps a bit, good luck xxx

    Make sure you're getting enough fats and protein, for satiety.

    I like to assess why I am having the cravings in the first place. Am I tired? Did I meet my protein/fat macros? Did I meet my calorie goal (and don't have too big of a deficit if I exercised and did not eat back the calories)? Am I doing something that I might typically eat while doing (watching TV, surfing the internet, etc), or am I bored? Is it that time of the month and all hell is going to break lose unless I stuff my face with chocolate?

    Why I am having the cravings in the first place helps me to see what I can do about it. If I'm bored, I might go for a walk (exercise seems to suppress my appetite), brew some coffee/tea, or chew some gum. If I am tired, I know it might be time to take a nap/go to bed or have some coffee and reassess in an hour or so. If I realize that I'm really short a macro/calories, then I have a snack (it's easy for me to incorporate the food/ingredient I want while trying to "catch up"on the short macro, like cocoa powder and cottage cheese if I'm short on protein or super dark chocolate if I'm short on fat).
