    I avoid salty snacks (mainly chips) and packaged sweets (cookies, cakes, candy, chocolate bars). I could binge on all of those items.

    My only restriction while I was losing weight was to cut out pastry. I adore it, I would eat two Cornish pasties on the trot, pork pie, Snake & Pygmy, I had no self control :D Soooo I stopped eating it for about 8 months.
    Now I find I can eat a sensible sized portion without hankering after more, so problem solved.

    As far as other foods went, I ate whatever I fancied as long as I was within my calorie intake.

    At the moment I'm upping my protein intake and cutting carbs somewhat with all the associated restrictions and additions.

    I restrict alcohol. I didn't cut it out completely, but now I only allow myself 1-2 drinks a week. Not that I drank a ton of alcohol before, but I participate in local brewery runs so I was having 2-3 beers about 3 times a week.

    Balance for health and wellness is my only restriction. I don't have any other specific rules, I evaluate each meal or snack individually based on what I've eaten in the recent past.

    I have tried a number of 'diets' or ways of eating most recently the whole 30. But I find as soon as it is over I have a treat... and another and another. I realize it is my way of thinking I need to change and focus on health rather than weight loss. It is just difficult.
