For the most part, make some things off the table, at least for a while. Eat like a grown-up. Or at least make a rule you can follow: candy once a month, whatever. Your tastes buds change. They actually “fall off” and regenerate all the time. If the new ones haven’t tasted whatever your off-limits foods are, you’ll lose the cravings. In that sense, cheat meals just keep the food addictions going. My old rule: Cheat meals are for people with abs. (Harsh, but it kept me on track.)

Learn to cook your favorites in a healthier way: more protein, fewer calories, less/no sugar, healthier fat sources, etc. Pretty much my whole blog. I eat pizza often, but not pizza made with crap by a stranger.
