One of the best habits you can develop is drinking water. Try making it sort of a thing that you do as a rule. When you have one craving, do another thing.

if (craving) {
  drink(water)
}

Fast food cravings usually arise because your body needs something and fast food is an easy way to quickly become satiated, but it's kind of like stubbing out the actual nutrition. Sometimes water is enough to improve the situation, but these cravings are also letting you know that you are missing some actual nutrients from your diet. If you can go out of your way to eat something nutrient-dense before you get the cravings, they will probably never happen in the first place.
