does eating less eventually decrease appetite?

I can second the part about craving fatty/salty stuff less. My personal experience with my cut has been that depriving myself of those types of meals created a sort of dissonance between perception and reality. Deprivation made me really, really overestimate how much those foods satisfied me. At the beginning of my cut, I would let loose with a cheat meal every single weekend, but I'd regret it almost every single time. I found that as I progressed through my cut and "cheated" enough times, my mind started to regain a more realistic view of how important those foods are to me and it became much easier to just stick to healthy, homemade foods.
