    High energy density and fat content, and low protein and fiber contents were identifying characteristics of craved foods. The relationships between craving variables and hunger score suggest that the relative influence of hunger susceptibility on cravings may be important before and especially after ER.

    Portion size of craved foods and frequency of giving in to food cravings appear to be important areas for focus in lifestyle modification programs for long-term weight loss.

    Dieting or restrained eating generally increase the likelihood of food craving. Attempted restriction or deprivation of a particular food is associated with an increase in craving for the unavailable food. This relationship suggests a variety of underlying cognitive, conditioning and emotional processes, of which ironic cognitive processes, conditioned cue reactivity and dysphoric mood are prominent. Food cravings may also be self-attributions, accounting for why a highly-palatable but self-restricted food is (over-)consumed. Overall, the popularised account of cravings as elicited by specific nutritional need is having to give way to a more subtle and complex appreciation of human eating behaviour.

    Don't start none. Won't be none.

    The method conducted to lose the weight is the one you will have to keep on doing to maintain the weight loss.
    Restricting all trigger foods you love and enjoy right out of the chute won't last. At some point down the road, it may be the one or two year mark or even the five year mark, all dieting perfection will fly right out the window. Not only will you be dealing with ghrelin blowback but the mind is powerful...old cravings will win with all or nothing food trigger restriction. It does not last.

    Learn to moderate food and portions right out of the chute and you'll actually have a much better chance of getting there and staying there. If you've dieted in the past and rebound weight gain with friends have showed right back up on your doorstep, there's your sign.

    Second verse same as the first. We can learn to moderate ourselves with food and portions.

    I would argue that repeated behavior can reinforce habits. Much like a mouse in a Skinner Box. When a handle is pulled the rat learns that a pellet comes out. What has also been noted is that when the current stimulus changes and pushing the leaver no longer works, simply changing the stimuli can make new rituals occur. Thus hinting that a cognitive shift away from high reward foods may lessen the pull instead.

    So, if one were to not reinforce the stimulus, IE the buying of crisp one can not enjoy the reward so not to reinforce it.

    Eat more. You're basically setting yourself up for binges, and massive muscle loss.
