Thanks! The water is actually one of the key parts. I can't fathom how many raisins I would've eaten if I hadn't started sipping water every craving.
I don't really put a time frame between levels. It takes a lot for me to feel full so that hasn't been something I've paid attention to. When I say it takes a lot I mean it...I've been denied further service at all-you-can-eat restaurants. For me the craving isn't really about fullness, it's just a desire that can often be sated with water and veggies.
I've heard about a 20 minute gap between being full and your stomach letting you know that, so I'd probably put 10 minutes between each snack. But I'm not scientific about this at all so I'm just throwing that number out there.
