I was speaking to a fellow of mine who specialises in weightloss who is based in the US. He always recommends Atkins diet but says the following:
When we cheat we feel so guilty it becomes self punishment and reinforces our negative self image Nd negative eating beliefs. He always recommends to plan one day a month where you can eat whatever you want. You are more likely to not cheat before then because you know you have a legitimate day off planned.
Also, when it gets to that day, you are so used to dieting, you don't eat as much or the foods that you think you can/want.
Maybe if you find yourself cheating alot, try this... I welcome your thoughts.
