Dark chocolate. It has a lot of health benefits so no need to feel guilty if you stick to 1 (or 2) pieces. Ghirardelli is a great one. The 72% and 86% are both delicious.0

Brush your teeth! When I get a sweet tooth, thats all I do. The taste for it goes away then I don't want anything and on top of that I don't won't to eat after I brush my teeth0

If I have to eat something (hunger + cravings) then I make the most healthy dessert option I can.
Google this.. ohsheglows.com and skinnytaste.com are great resources to start.
If I'm not hungry, and just craving, I leave post-it notes around my cupboard and where I normally reach to overeat/fulfill the cravings with ideas and inspirations such as "if it's nice outside, why aren't you enjoying it?" Or, "do you really need this today?"0 -
apple slices with nutella hazel nut spread. It tastes like chocolate and is freaking delicious in my opinion!!!0

Most meals I eat are complex carbohydrate and protein. For Saitiation reasons I eat lean protein the more natural the source the less carbohydrates. Like a boiled egg, tin of flavoured tuna 95g or some cold roast beef 100g.
But if you can't live without chocolate try Atkins caramel peanut bars their really nice but you might not stop at one....
I hope this helps you with your cravings.
But whenever I eat protein I'm fuller longer.0 -
Try some of the South Beach Diet Ricotta Cheese recipes (just google). You wouldn't think that ricotta cheese would make anything sweet, but it is really good! I use lo-fat ricotta, some Splenda and Vanilla Extract and it's very satisfying. They also have mocha and other recipes. Yum!0
