“Create healthy habits, not restrictions.”
A study done in 1996 and published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, scientists found that restrictions in diet causes participants to crave the items they are removing from their food intake and therefore create negative psychological responses and poor behavior changes in response. Check out the abstract below:

A review of the literature and research on food restriction indicates that inhibiting food intake has consequences that may not have been anticipated by those attempting such restriction. Starvation and self-imposed dieting appear to result in eating binges once food is available and in psychological manifestations such as preoccupation with food and eating, increased emotional responsiveness and dysphoria, and distractibility. Caution is thus advisable in counseling clients to restrict their eating and diet to lose weight, as the negative sequelae may outweigh the benefits of restraining one's eating. Instead, healthful, balanced eating without specific food restrictions should be recommended as a long-term strategy to avoid the perils of restrictive dieting.

Life is about balance and building habits that are both realistic and sustainable. Elimination of any behavior, habit, intake, food, drink, or craving will cause those things to come back with a vengeance later because… we’re human and that’s what our brain does! :P
