Plan a Splurge

“Often when we forbid ourselves certain foods, we end up eating everything but that food before giving in and overindulging anyway,” says Morgan. Sometimes a low-fat cheese stick won’t ease your pizza fix, and dried fruit can’t replace peach cobbler. Ditching the diet mentality and allowing yourself small portions of decadent foods can help prevent cravings all together. You can scoop half a cup of ice cream into a Tupperware container and store in your freezer if you know that’s what you’ll reach for at 8 p.m. That way, you can eat what you really want without consuming a lot of extra calories. “I plan my splurges at the beginning of the day. Since I know it’s coming, it’s so much easier for me to keep portions in check.”
