There are recipes for making 'muffins' and 'breads' out of flax seed and stuff, that might help conquer a craving for bread. As for rice, you can make a dish that usually goes with rice and serve it over cooked cauliflower (if you have a good processer or something, you can make cauliflower 'rice').
Are you having beans and milk? Everyone swears by them for the carb cravings on Phase 1. Beans and milk have carbs so consuming more will help with those cravings.
I don't know what to say about the no appetite thing, but maybe scouring the net for different recipes so you can try something totally new and exciting (yet OP) might boost up the appetite some?
