A really "quick fix" for my cravings is to eat a low-carb protein bar or a protein shake, then eat a salad with ample dressing. Protein will stop hunger dead if you get the right kinds(each kind - whey, egg, soy, casein, etc. - processes at a different speed, thus a lot of protein blends incorporate a variety), the fiber of the salad helps you process everything else, and the fats in the dressing(which you should probably make yourself - the manufactured stuff is questionable) will hold most of the energy you need. An alternative, if I don't have salad materials around, is to add a bit of olive oil to the protein bar/shake. It actually improves the taste quite a bit.
