    When I do the following, I don't have cravings:

    1. Get sufficient sleep
    2. Exercise regularly - when I get the happy hormones from exercise, I'm not prone to seeking them from food.
    3. Get sufficient protein in relationship to carbs. I'm not low carb, but reducing carbs and upping protein worked for cravings for me.
    4. Eat moderate amounts of fruit
    5. Take a magnesium supplement. This can be especially helpful for women premenstrually.
    6. Save foods like chocolate for after dinner, in small amounts

    Since Kale with Benefits is a little short on magnesium an alternative to supplements I would suggest perpitas

    I love sweets also, so I feel your heartache! haha. I eat sweets everyday and stay within my calories/macros... I make sure to fit them in! Check out Arctic Zero ice cream. Its AMAZING and LOW in calories. Sometimes hard to find though. A whole pint is only 150 cals! and the choc. is the bomb! Also check out skinny cow candy. Its yummy and low in calories/macros. Sugar free jello with light cool whip, etc. Just have to fit things in and make it work! Story of my life!
