If you start from induction and add in the food groups slowly over time as Dr. Atkins outlines you will know what foods trigger cravings and can avoid them. If you are experiencing cravings you are addicted/ultra sensitive to that food. Once you cut it out of your diet you will not have actual physical cravings for it ever again. I am speaking from experience, as I would not face up to a sugar alcohol addiction (to the ice cream, bars and candies that are on the market) for over 6 months. Of course I gained weight. But once I faced the addiction and gave them up I was back on track loosing weight and have lost all cravings for them.

As everyone else says FAT is good - it makes you feel full.
