"Will-Power though it" is the standard, if very irritating answer. Most cravings are gone by day10, and people frequently seem to have trouble eating even the recommended food amounts by day 20 - so that's something to look forward to.

By the way - 3lbs in 5 days is pretty much normal for women - you're doing well.

Breaking the diet will just push the cravings longer. If you get an uncontrollable craving, gram 500g of some leafy veggie or no-sugar pickles from your fridge (I like half a jar of jalapeno pickles - nice kick

and make a monster salad with some >strong< salad dressing (my favorite: 6tbs Heinz vinegar, 1tbs minced garlic, 1/2tbs mustard powder*, tsp pepper, tsp salt, [1/8th tsp konjac mixed in 1tbs h20] shake hard) and chew each mouthful between 20-30 times. I bet you'll feel full before you finish it. : )

*: not friendly to the tongue at all, but that's why I like it. : )

(PS: If you absolutely can't help yourself, http://www.lowcarbchocolates.com/bars.html, but don't blame me for the consequences. Also be aware that anything with a soluable fiber, and the vast majortiy of insoluable fibre will be fermented in your gut, and converted into fatty acids which will break the diet. 95% of the 'no sugar, low/no carb' foods go this route - they >will< break the diet as well.)
