Historically speaking, cravings are not an issue so much as grazing or mindless eating due to nerves. Usually something easily accessible.
As folks here on UAC got to witness I did deal with legitimate cravings while on ketosis last year, which were ultimately tied to carb intake and my body tricking me into craving "mildly" higher carb foods, like peanut butter. Not a great source of carbs, except when you're giving into cravings and blasting through your daily carb limit with it. As long as I kept my carbs well down keto was no issue with no cravings, but even a minor slip-up would result in a crazy session of gorging on something to fill up on carbs.
Being mindful of my nerves and grabbing something to munch on is my first line is f defense. After that it's trying to figure out if I'm thirsty. After that it's trying to figure out if I'm truly hungry. Sadly if nerves are too shot and things are too chaotic there is little chance to pay that much mind. But even if I break down, knowing the cause is the first step to addressing it.3 -

My deal is “if I can control the portions & track to the gram, I can have them.”
I eat raw nuts, peanut butter, and 82% dark chocolate every day.
On the other hand, I keep a large number of other items out of the house & we do t eat out or get take out. No cookies crackers, chips, ice cream, candy, etc.
If I try a number of times, and it becomes a runaway train, we place it on the “don’t purchase” list.
And to @jamcnewman
Eventually I realized I Realized I didn’t feel
Good physically or emotionally when I ate those foods…
Rather than thinking of it as deprivation, I began to think of it as true self-care.
Why would we want to consume something that makes us feel ill, etc.5 -
Yes x3. Cravings usually revolve around sugar - something sweet after a meal. I think I get that from my dad! But the less I indulge, the less I crave it. A square of dark chocolate is often enough to feel like a treat without giving me that craving for more sweetness.4

Re: cravings. I'm not sure if I have cravings or not. When I can't stop myself from eating, it's usually not a craving, but an intense desire to eat carbs, both salty and sweet. It really doesn't matter what it is. If it is in the house, I'll eat it. However, I have chips, chocolate, nuts around the house all the time and for the most part will eat a little every day and log the calories. After some recent close calls, I've tried to deliberately drink water or tea in place of eating to see if that dulls the desire to binge. It's mostly working so far, but I don't know if I'll always be able to stop myself.4 -

You are a warrior Chris and you are a winner. Well done today keeping on track in a time of terrific turmoil. Thinking of you and sending encouragement and good wishes for strength in the week ahead. 💫3 -
Did some more walking today, a creek trail, and met some new folx to go dancing with! It was fun. Beautiful day here.
yes to exercise

yes to under budget
2/3 pass days taken.
Cake and breads, oh lordy. Those are my indulgences mostly. I've learned to just have them in moderation and really enjoy them. I only have cake once every week or two now, so when I do have it, I get really good stuff. I did the math once, and even with a splurge on super quality piece of cake, I'm still spending so much less than I used to when I ate the cheaper stuff more often. And of course, I feel better and more like I'm having a treat when I do have a treat. 
When I start feeling greedy about it, I just remind my "inner elephant" that there will be more cake in our future, oh yes...yes, there will. That helps me relax and savor every crumb.
Pleasure is an important ingredient. lol
