You know, I never had carb cravings after the first four days or so. I guess I was eating low fat and high carb for so long (20 years?) that I pigged out on acceptable foods and rarely craved carbs. I could even sit there and think about yummy chocolate-- I used to eat all of my Hallowe'en candy in a night-- and I would not crave it.

If I can suggest:

We need to listen to our stomachs, not our mouths.

For the first few days of Atkins, my mouth watered for anything and everything... I would not be surprised if my mouth watered at a car commercial on TV! Ignore it! It is lying to you! Listen to your stomach, or your head if you get headaches like me when you're hungry!

Good luck!
