And I mean, chips, cookies, chocolate etcetc..
I seem to remember reading about food that would make you crave this stuff, anyone know what kind of food that is??

What can be done to -not- crave it?

    That's my danger time too - if my wife goes to bed before me it suddenly becomes "calories don't count" time and I sneak some toast.

    What can be done? Eat the right thing for dinner to fill up properly and don't keep snacks in the house?

    I've just given up eating bread and that has really helped with cravings. I used to be craving something to eat all day without really being hungry and would then scoff down a load of toast in the evenings. Having not eaten bread for just over a week now, I'm not getting cravings so much and don't really miss the bread (apart from the convenience of it!).

    Don't buy them. I was terrible with all those things,

    but half of the time I was just putting things in my trolley and not noticing I'd already put something else in from another isle.

    So when I got home there were lots of treats available. So now when I see something tempting on the shelves, I check my trolley first to make sure I haven't put something else in.

    But now I just tend to walk past all those tempting things on the shelves.

    I read something too ages ago... if my memory serves me right ( and I'm sure someone will put it right if I am wrong) its something to do with low blood sugar making you crave carbs. .. hence the biscuits, bread , chips etc. I also personally think that it is also habit... sit in front of telly and pick whilst watching..... I know that is what it was with me so I broke the habit by getting up and doing something... anything... when the craving hit me. Took a couple of months but now I don't get the cravings very often at all.
