    I had a fast food craving last week. So I made vegetable "fries" (stay with me here). I put green beans and fine asparagus tips into a bowl with a teaspoon of oil, a crushed clove of garlic and some salt. Mixed it all up so the veg were evenly coated, then tipped it out onto a baking sheet and put it in a med/hot oven so about 8 minutes. They were crunchy and so delicious, I ate the lot!!

    I'm lactose intolerant but have also found that lactose free milk is heaps lower in calories an doesn't taste too different, you could still have the odd milkshake with it :)

    Make a juicy burger with lean beef and/or lean turkey. Bake some sweet potato fries, or turnips, green beans, whatever veggie you wish to sub for fries. Even have red potatoes cubed and roasted if nothing else will do...just watch portion.

    If your craving it, eat it. Just order the smallest sizes available. Get a Jr. burger, a kids size fries and a kids size shake - or share it with someone. Eat a big salad and some fruit with it to fill you up. Don't deprive yourself or you'll go mad - or stop trying. I've found that eating small amounts of things you want actually helps in the weight loss process. Eat mainly healthy foods - but allow yourself splurges now and then. The rest of the day eat as much healthy, low fat stuff as you can.

    What about home made? I find if I eat a burger with a whole wheat bun and some store bought oven cooked fries do the trick. It's healthier than fast food, but it's similar....kinda.
    I am addicted to grease myself, I feel your pain!

    Make a turkey or black bean burger! Parsnip or carrot fries are totally yummy. You could also just bake some potato fries!

    I always crave sugar, and earlier I was craving it really badly! I don't keep anything naughty in the flat as I used to binge a lot.

    Anyway... I had a spoon of PNB with chocolate dessert sauce on top with a cup of tea. Worked a treat :)

    Go get a kid's meal. Craving won't go away with the food. Just steer clear of the shake, even a small of those is not good.

    The only cure that works for me is getting up and DOING something...whether it be clean my room, play with the cat, read a book, go to the gym anything. Ik it's tough but you can do it
