Experiment

I think if you are changing your eating behaviors you need to be willing to experiment with things.  You can follow a plan that is laid out for you but I think you still need to experiment and be aware of how your body and mind reacts to what you are doing.

My experiment has been with Chia seeds.  I personally prefer to add 1 tablespoon of seeds to 16 ounces of water with lemon juice and let them soak for 20 minutes before I drink it.  I noticed when I do that it curbs my desire for sweets and bread.  I was drinking them for two straight weeks and noticed the change.   Then I got lazy and wasn't drinking them everyday.  I started feeling like my cravings for sweets and bread was uncontrollable.  Interesting, eh'. Now I drink them each morning after I get to work.  I have had a slight desire for sweets from time to time but nothing I can't keep under control.
