There are a certain element who have gone through Overeating Anonymous who completely refrain from unhealthy foods, they treat it like an alcoholic but those programs have only slightly better success than fad diets.
The reason a cheat night can be a godsend for people is that if you eat 100% for 6 days and one day or one meal they can enjoy whatever they want, they will still be FAR better off and can make that a lifestyle. Having something to look forward to during the week while fighting off cravings and triggers is not to be underestimated.

I understand the idea, but you're allowed to have a piece of cake for dessert without waiting a week and just eating the whole cake.
