I really recommend raw vegan chocolate for treats. I have that with nuts. You can find it at Wholefoods. I would say what really works for me is to cut out junk food and replace it with healthier "naughty" foods like dark vegan chocolate, veggie chips, hummus, that kind of thing. You can find gorgeous raw vegan "cheesecakes" at Wholefoods too. I even make my own healthier desserts. Use sucanat instead of sugar. And replace butter with Earth Balance buttery spead(all good stuff in there).
For me, the major changing factors were completely cutting out white bread and anything with white sugar, replacing pasta with quinoa or brown rice and eating fruit about 4-5 times a day.
I allow myself about 120 calories worth of the dark chocolate a day. it even curbs one's desire to overeat and dark chocolate has great antioxidants too.
Good luck!
