Change slowly your eating habits. Slowly cut back on trigger foods. With me, being lactose intolerant it was simple logic to cut dairy, then deep fried foods, then egg products, less gluton, no junk, no sodas, no diet sodas, lot's of water, black coffee. Fresh foods become the staple. If you can, grow vegs during the summer. Learn about herbs and spices. Quality food is delicious. Salt and sugar are big problems with our food supply, cut them as much as possible. This has helped me lot's over the years. 5'3, 126.8lbs. 75 years with heart issues so can't do much exercise. Yoga, therapeutic massage, spiritual practice really help.
