3. Sugarless gum
4. Brush your teeth so food would taste terrible if you ate it!
5. Go to the gym
6. Take a walk
7. Go to bed if it is a late night craving
8. Drink a tall glass of water with fruit slice or cucumber slice
9. Read your email
10. Stay strong!! Don't give in! Remind yourself the craving will pass in minutes but giving into the craving will result in more lasting effects that you might not like! :)
