Ah! I'm glad you clarified. Removing things like scones, cookies, cupcakes, etc is of course the obvious and right thing to do. Removing fruit, though, was a killer for me. I've always been a 2-3 servings of fruit/day person and getting rid of that made me obsess about, of all things, Oreos. Which I don't even like.

Getting rid of processed carbs did remove cravings for them. Cheetos, kettle chips, fritos, pretzels, wheat thins - removing all processed snacky carbs from my diet did the trick.

The craving for sweets never went away, however. Fruit seems to address that just fine.
