Top answer
I am tempted by the sumptuous chocolate cake , but I can't eat IT as my doctor had advised me to watch my weight. Not really - 'had' suggests a completed action and the weight-watching is no longer relevant, so it is not a problem to eat the cake now, in the present. Notice I've added 'it' to each sentence as otherwise you're saying you can't eat anything!
