Please, I beg you, invest in https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ayurvedic-healing-a-comprehensive-guide
& do the experiment of making yourself pairs of dishes with 1/2 of each pair being the most-pacifying-for-your-metabolism ingredients & the other being the most-aggravating-for-your-metabolism.
The experience was shocking as hell for me, when I did it.
It may identify the "system" underlying what ingredients you need to understand, in order to liberate your healing into your life.
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen,

My diet is fine. You may have missed that I'm cutting out things that qualify as snacks. Things whose nutritional content is limited and are mostly fat and carbohydrates, including those commonly eaten right after what might otherwise be a sensible meal.
I'm talking biscuits (cookies), cakes and the like. I already don't eat crisps (chips) nor do I drink anything with fizz or sugar (or both).
If I can't get to a good weight doing just that, I might look into alternative sources of nutrition and superfoods, but those tend to cost the sort of money that I can ill afford to spend.
Also, I looked at the blurb for that book and it claims that it contains recipes that will "treat" cancer. That's weasel wording to avoid being called snake oil, while at the same time convincing the gullible that it contains a cure, so you'll forgive me if I give it a miss.
