L-Glutamine and Vitamin C
When I get hit with a craving, first response is, "what have I been eating that might have triggered this?" Strawberries had to go, as did aspartame. Hidden sugar, especially hidden HFCS, is a flaming demon trigger for cravings. Who'da thought you'd find it in pickles?
If I want to not eat, sometimes I'll take an extra 1000 mg tablet of L-Glutamine, and 2 grams of vitamin C (over my regular intake). They both work to take the edge off.
Finally, as stated above, fat and protein will also stop a craving. ANY carb product, even lettuce, will just pour fuel on the fire if it's a post-meal, "should have eaten enough but still want more" craving.
