I crave things all of the time. Hungry lots, too---but I want weight loss---BAD---so I will endure the hunger, and daydream all day about what I would LIKE to eat, but not gonna cheat---the weight is coming off as fast as I can get it off so that I can resume some semblance of normal in the not too far away future (by "normal" I do not mean eating junk and too much garbage---I would settle for 3 well balanced (meaning low carb) meals a day where I am not hungry for hours on end and get to have an occasional splurge).
I take the diet mentality that is kind of like taking off a bandaid. It is gonna hurt. You want a little pain over the long haul (pulling it off slowly/making some cutbacks here and there and hoping to see movement on the scale eventually)?, or are you ready to just RIP THAT SUCKER OFF---it hurts like ****, but it is quick--and before you know it, you are done. YMMV--this is just my approach. I am a chronic dieter---can't be bothered with that whole "this is my lifestyle" nonsense. This is a DIET. Once I have lost enough weight I will find a way to have my cake (occasionally) and eat it too (even more rare)---but for now, the focus is just on getting it OFF!!!!
Here's hoping whatever strategy you use works for you!! If you stay OP, IT WORKS.
