Because you run and weight train, your body uses up more fuel...therefore, the cravings for sugar. Instead of sugar, you should consume healthier foods (i.e. foods rich in protein and carbohydrates) more often (every 3 hours or so). Cut out the fat burner if you continue to run (you don't need both). And the obvious part, cut out the alcohol! Alcohol increases your cravings for food. Also, it will counteract the effects of creatine as water is not being used properly.
