Eat fats whenever you have sugar/carbs cravings. Even a knob of butter can help satiate.

Also fix sleep: poor sleep messes with hormones and increases carb cravings.

Too much fat can stall progress in a keto diet. It’s better to give yourself a safe option. If you start craving something, ask yourself, “would I eat a hard boiled egg right now?” If the answer is, “no,” then you are probably not actually hungry.

I found that when I did the diet right, the sugar cravings largely went away. It takes some time and effort to get there so once you are, dig in and don’t let people tempt you with sugar. There is free food everywhere and it’s almost all sugar; You get what you pay for.
