I was never a sweets guy, but my weakness was potatoes in all its forms. I have found zucchini and cauliflower to be great substitutes for that craving. My snack of choice is pork rinds, but a bag of those lasts me a week (as opposed to polishing off a whole bag of "healthy" baked chips at a sitting).

My wife left a small bag of BBQ chips sitting on the counter for a month. I never touched them. They eventually disappeared.
