what are your favorites to stop your cravings?

Doing some pretty heavy weight loss for the second time in my life unfortunately. The first I was very closed about it, all i did for over a year was basically work and go to the gym. I think I only went out with friends for 1-2 days every 3-6 months. I didn't talk to anyone or share my experience which i think in a way, helped me; but I also missed out on sharing my experience with others going through the same thing.

Today was the second day of my weight loss journey and i was craving sweets, which is expected this early on, of course. When i started craving, i did what i did the last time i was losing weight and I drank tons of water until i was full. Not uncommon for me even on a regular day as I often drink a minimum of 6+ liters of water a day anyway.

But I was wondering what sort of methods everyone else had for stopping their cravings and maybe myself of others can use some of these tricks.

A few things I had done last time I was losing weight was:

- Sunflower seeds. I always bought the packs that were still in the shell and I found that in the time it took me to crack the shell, eat the seed, and discard the seed, by the time I got through a handful, my craving was over and it wasn't many calories at all

- Pickles. This was one of my more consistent craving stoppers because pickles are apparently like 10 or less calories even for the big ones. they were surprisingly filling for me and due to the acid nature of pickles, i found they never left me with any craving like some other foods do.

- Grilled veggies. If i had cravings but I had a little more time for a work around I'd usually grill some veggies. like asparagus, zucchini, or peppers.
