Spending egregiously on fresh fruit, vegetables, and bread of the highest quality. As soon as I had a little money as a grad student, I decided to allocate an unlimited budget to spend on these particular items. If you have unlimited budget to spend on fruit, you will find amazing blueberries, mangoes, etc. Or vine-grown tomatoes with sea salt and italian mozzarella. These healthy foods became for me such a great source of pleasure that they effectively crowded out junk food. Counterintuitively, even with an unlimited budget, it's really hard to spend very much on these items, because there's a limit on how much you can eat. But the feeling of being supposed to spend egregiously made a big difference for me.
