It’s very difficult. It helps to increase the friction for “bad” snacks and populate your environment with healthy alternatives. If there’s an apple and peanut butter in the kitchen but you would have to walk to the store for chips, then you’re less likely to eat the chips.
Having satisfying meals with enough good fats, fiber and protein will help with cravings. A nutritionist could give good advice on macro targets but as an example, I’ve been told that I should be getting 30g of protein in my breakfast. And I have found that when I do so, I’m less likely to snack.
I agree with the advice someone else posted about getting enough water. You could consider coupling that with some extra fiber. Fiber is pretty filling and I think it can also help with steadying blood sugar, which can help with cravings. Adding ground flaxseeds to your food or having a spoon of psyllium with juice can up your fiber.
