I believe when you tell your self your on a "diet" you crave more of the so called forbidden foods.
Lifestyle change is how to do it! Regarding the cheating, I think the impact would be a lot less if you're still keeping the calories low, but just eating not as healthy food. If a cheating day = pigging out all day, then you're really hampering your weight loss efforts.
