The way I look at it, you shouldn't try to remove individual food items from your diet, but figure out what type of foods it should be based on and focus on those. Let me explain. I mostly follow a paleo diet ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic_diet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic_diet ) which simplifying a lot is based on having plenty of fruit / vegetables accompanied by lean meats/fish. If you go that route, whenever you're hungry, just have some more fruit/veggies and soon there won't be any room for the type of foods you mentioned nor cravings. Not only that, but there's no need to count calories anymore. btw, there's nothing wrong in having junk food, as long as that is the exception and not the rule.
