Running definitely increases carb cravings; your body simply needs carbs as fuel if you're running any significant distance. Well, that's my opinion, anyway, based on my experience. If you stick to good carbs - fruits and vegetables, whole grains, I'm sure you know the drill - you should be fine. Halo top and candy bars are right out. Have a banana.
Full disclosure: I do give in to the ice cream cravings once every couple of weeks or so. I've never been seriously overweight, and tend to stay at exactly the same weight, to the tenth of a pound, and have been for years. There have been fluctuations, when I made serious efforts through diet and, mostly, exercise to lose 10 to 12 pounds. I can keep it off for as long as I'm putting in the effort, and when I stop I go right back up to the same exact weight. 193.6, every day after my morning shit. The occasional ice cream binge doesn't budge it; it probably would if I did it every day, though.
