Carrots are pretty high in sugar as far as vegetables go. Broccoli, Celery, Cauliflower, cucumbers etc. are probably a better choice, especially if you're going to be eating a lot. Those sugar-free jello cups are great, 10 calories, no fat, no carbs. Carrots are better than chips or candy bars by a long shout of course.
Personally, I was never able to cut out sugar until I cut out (most) carbs as well. If you can get the sugar out of your system, it will really reduce your cravings for it.
I find foods with some fat and protien much more filling than sugar/carbs as well. Something like a hard-boiled egg has some fat in it, but it will stick with you much longer than something like a muffin or a doughnut and has less calories as well.
Drink the water. Seriously. Just do it.
