What is your forbidden food? The food you LOVE but can’t have it near you or you’ll eat the whole bag? Go get lots of bags of it. Pretty soon, you’ll realize it’s always there, you won’t run out and you can have it whenever you want it. Sometimes, just knowing you CAN have it whenever you want it takes the craving away.
Make no mistake, this takes a lot of courage. But what you are doing is staring your demons in the face and saying “I know best for me. No one can tell me how to eat better than myself. No one knows me like I do. I know what I should eat”.
You’re not a toddler anymore getting spoon-fed carrots. You can make your own decisions and eat what you want.
This gets into a lot of psychology but I can tell you from experience, this works.The next few tips, I’m going to go ahead and give them to you in a sneak peak because they make this easier:
Stop eating when you are truly satisfied. Not stuffed, satisfied. And if that food doesn’t satisfy you, eat what does.
Figure out if you’re eating to meet hunger or an emotional need.

A craving is a signal that you are in need; the proverb is that somewhere along the way we got our remedies confused. When we were young and we wanted comfort, we would run to get a hug, play with friends when we were lonely, eat when hungry, drink when thirsty, cry when sad, invent games when bored and sleep when tired. Somewhere in the course of growing up we found out that just because we needed something we didn’t always get it. So we turned to food, drink, TV or maybe even drugs, whatever gave you pleasure to meet those needs. We confused pleasure with meeting needs.
To change your habits you have to go back to the source: identify your real need and have the courage to meet it instead of substituting food (or other things) for the answer.
What are you afraid will happen if you let yourself eat what you want?
Have you ever disproven that?
