Some studies, such as this one, have been focusing more and more around the influence of gut bacteria control over eating behavior including the microbial influence on reward and satiety pathways and most importantly microbial influence on generating cravings for foods that they specialize on or foods that suppress their competitors.
This implies a few ways to change cravings:
Stop eating sweets altogether, the gut bacteria structure changes drastically within 24 hours of changing the diet, so cravings should cease in due time. (until you eat another sweet again, which is a way back to the start!).
Probiotics (the paper I cited above says that an increased microbiota diversity is predicted to reduce cravings significantly).
Administration of antibiotics which may destroy your flora (cease your craving altogether, it goes without saying that I do not recommend this).
