good luck with the diet! if you're only trying to avoid specific foods like snacks or desserts, something that's surprisingly worked for me is to eat more. if i am full after eating my meals, i'm less likely to snack constantly between meals. if i eat more fruit, i'm less likely to crave other desserts. if i plan an afternoon snack of cheese and crackers, i'm less likely to grab potato chips when i'm feeling peckish. keep in mind you still need to eat mindfully to not overeat so this approach might not be for everyone, but framing the process as "what can i add" has made me naturally reduce a lot of things i wanted to cut without feeling restricted.
