Lately I have been craving corn and bread. Hmm, that sound's good. I could go for some corn-bread. KFC used to have really good corn-bread muffins. I miss those. But I am like everyone else, I do fat-free/sugar-free pudding for my sweet tooth.
I have noticed I don't crave sweets like I used to.

Great suggestion. I'm going to try thatCeebs said:
Mrs BE has perfected a semi-natural shake recipe for her choco cravings that does not seem to upset her carb-sensitive equilibrium. It goes like this:
1-2 Cups Reconstituted Powdered dry milk made with 20% less milk powder. (This is what the kidies drink and we cook with.) You can use soya milk, but the kcalories are higher.
Half of a small apple or pear. (Optional, but it really helps with texture and taste.)
3-5 Large Strawberries (optional) OR 5-10 Raspberries (optional) AND/OR a quarter cup of blueberries. (optional)
1-2 Heaped Tablespoons of plain wheat bran. (Bakers bran from health food store, NOT cereal)
1-2 Heaped Tablespoons flaxseeds (golden is okay but regular taste better IMO) ground finely in coffee grinder.
1 Scoop vanilla or choc. protein powder. (optional, but helps with texture and flavour, we like ISS Research, cheap and is true to label.)
1 Level Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder. (experiment with amount, MrsBE is a dark choco fiend!)
1-2 Tablespoons Splenda or substitute your favourite sweetener to taste.
Optional 1-2 tablespoons EFAs like Flax oil.
Yield: A massive 32-oz shake that can be split if you fill up fast. If you split it, add liquid to make the reserved half-runny.
I worked all the nutrition info up on a spreadsheet, but I can't find it right now. If you used a whole med. NZ apple, it was around 280-320 Kcals. The carbs are all relatively low GI, but they are there. The fibre content is outstanding and will make you a 'regular' gal or guy. The carbs do not cause any negative affects on MrsBE, who is VERY carb sensitive, but YMMV.
We are not fans of regularly consuming MRP shakes as whole foods are better. But for 4-5 days during PMS, it really helps and the anti-ox profile is great. We split one a couple of times a week when meals are impossible due to schedules.
