How much fat do you eat? Unless you are eating as much as your gut can handle, increasing it some might help - because when you load up on fat, you feel so full you don't want to eat anything more for hours. And gradually cravings will stop appearing. If you have too little, though, you'll get all kinds of cravings.
Yeah I've also read that if you eat certain amount of protein the body just shuts down cravings for food. Thanks for the fat tip I didn't know that, though I was kinda aware of it, because there was a period I had the luck of just eating meat and veggies as my mom pretty much had energy to cook every day.
But as my mother does not agree with my idea of paleo or ketosis, and as I'm not able to still get my own money though i'd love it but I barely find time to do something. I sometimes find myself put into comical situations. For example one day I went to do exercise, came back to home and my mother didn't cook because she was tired - that's ok she's getting older and his few hours of working with the dogs is kinda heavy, but I strongly believe is because of her bad diet habits like drinking massive amounts of coffee, eating bread, almost two or one glass of water per day and 4 of orange juice, and intense hours of exercising in late night plus bad sleeping disorders, plus cellphone addiction, plus stress and depression; that pretty much summarizes our mainstream society - but that wasn't the problem cooking some steak or something simple is easy, but there wasn't any food lol, when I find myself like this I just take some eggs and fill my stomach with them as they are supposedly to have a good amount of fat, but there was nothing ! nothing but pasta and two cookies left on the table by my aunt and believe me, that was like a suspense movie, I was so hungry that those cookies were dramatically put there for me. Also there was no stores open.
I'd ask if I can just buy some meat to have on the refrigerator, specially pork, they sell these chops and I can't imagine they are so cheap and add some eggs to, and if my mother does not feel like she will cook that day, I can prepare my meals in any time.

Yup, eating too much protein for prolonged periods of time can either knock you out of ketosis or give you cravings or both. Shouldn't really eat more than about 25% of your daily calories as protein. The only way I'm able to achieve that is to add fat, mostly butter, to bacon, eggs, pork chops, ground pork, etc. Even though the pork is quite fatty, I have to increase the fat in my two meals (breakfast and dinner) or else I wouldn't be getting enough calories besides not getting enough fat specifically. If you can't tolerate butter try lard or other saturated animal fat added to each meal.
One thing that I've experienced several times is that if I eat cashews, it's hard to stop, and can also lead to long forgotten cravings. Homemade chocolate doesn't do that, neither does anything else that I may occasionally eat that's out of the ordinary. So it could be something you're eating that for some reason gives you cravings, as well. Try to identify what it might be if you think this is the case and avoid it.
Well there you go, the protein idea seems to not work. I too disagree with the idea of taking massive amounts of protein with shakes, and chicken breast, I just eat meat I love pork, bacon and that stuff, sometimes turkey. Seriously I can't believe there are propaganda about eggs and pork, a meal with these two is just a glorious meal. You grow strong and replenish mostly what your body needs, and feel so fresh, lot of athletes have told me to supplement with creatine but creatine comes in meat so I don't see the point either.
My country needs an update, they still tell people eggs will give you a heart stroke, that meat will give you colon cancer oh but look, Splenda is the secret weapon as it detox and it increases your immune system ! Sorry for the long post.
