Don't Deprive Yourself

Depriving yourself of your favourite foods can lead to binge eating and overindulging later.

Instead of cutting out your favourite treats altogether, allow yourself to enjoy them in moderation. If you're craving something sweet, have a small piece of dark chocolate instead of a standard chocolate bar. The richness fills the sweet spot a lot quicker with a smaller amount and it's good for you.

Look for alternatives to what you normally snack on and swap them out so you don't feel like you are giving up your treats.

In the end, if you want the donut, have the donut. Denying yourself will only increase the desire so try to cut down the frequency instead or, in this example, cut it in half and have half when you are craving it and keep the other half for a treat later on.
