    I wait 20 mins then have some nuts and a cup of tea. Or sometimes i go for a walk or tidy up have a bath. Distraction is the key. Also if you can remove them from your house, dont have change for the machine at work and if need be dont carry cash for a few weeks. This way you can't buy them when you are out.

    If you still want sweet thinks have dark 70% plain choc.

    Also cravings should pass in a couple of weeks when your body is use to good eating patten. I try and aim to eat every three hours this way you sugar levels should stay level and your cravings should lower.

    Hope this helps. I try and take things day buy day. Good luck .

    If I really want something sweet, I stick to low to mid GI fruits, summer fruits are great for that compared to most winter ones that just don't cut it for me. Cherries, strawberries, apricots, melons, even plums.

    Strong coffee or sparkling water also works for me.
