    I completely understand what you are saying. I have trigger foods I need to avoid as well. It may sound odd, but at the beginning of my weight loss journey when I was struggling a lot with my sweet tooth, I followed the advice of a podcast I listen to by increasing my protein. It sounded counter-intuitive to me. But it helped me a lot with keeping me from binging on the same foods you mention. I was able to be satisfied with smaller servings of sweet things if my protein was increased. (I keep tuna snack packs in my desk at work to help with this)

    This is true for me as well - increasing protein (and fruit) decreased my cravings for foods like baked goods and ice cream.

    I think a lot of time when I had the munchies what I really wanted was protein, but my signals got crossed.

    Oh, regular exercise decreases cravings for me as well.

    This is a simple and boring answer but I have a few raisins with my breakfast in the morning and it helps. Or unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk.
