Seeing young adults around me going through this made me change my dietary habits 1 year ago. I went to the extreme by modern food industry standards, but now:

- I take 100g proteins, 30g fibers daily

- Red meat once a week but never fried

- Most of the protein comes from eggs, yoggurt, chicken and various plant based sources

- No white bread

- No added sugars, no deserts except fruits

- Nothing fried

- No added salt

- No canned food

- Saturated fats kept at minimum.

- No spicy food

- No alcohol

The results are incredible. I lost 8 kg, my blood samples are perfect, my pulse dropped with 10, I sleep better, no migraines (I had those for years). Also this year I was the only one in the family that didn't got any cold, and that's quite hard with two kids going to kindergarten.

It's hard in the first two weeks, but afterwards it's becoming your daily routine. I also use an app to track various stats. The gameification of the diet also helped me a little.

I urge you to try this. To make it more manageable start small. For example avoid fast food for 2 weeks. Don't put any mayonnaise in your food for 1month. Stop eating white bread. And then add more and more restrictions. The hardest fight is the urge to eat sugar and drink alcohol, give it time.
