Removing unrefined sugar and cutting back carbohydrates is a terrific start. Add tons of seasonal vegetables and berries/bananas too.
The Mediterranean Diet was recently voted the best for overall health. I'm an advocate. And if you're going to eat something "bad" do it early in the day so you can burn off the calories.
If you can stomach the taste of organic ACV, add that to your diet. Does wonders! Bragg's is my favorite. There are many other options, as well as pill/capsule forms available. (ACV = apple cider vinegar).
Good luck!
