Cut out pure sugar as much as possible and probably also carbs as much as possible since they turn into sugar.

Yep, I understand. Some years ago there was a book called "wheat belly". It has to do with how carbs are processed. I think the grain has been adulterated in various ways which make the problem worse now. I will say that after awhile, you don't miss the carbs as much as if you feel better, you rather enjoy that state.

Glyphosate, herbicides, and pesticides are a big problem with the wheat in the United States. Carbs, specifically, aren't the issue, although starches can be more obesity-promoting.

Yeah and I feel like I eat more pasta than I probably think so say I just cut it in half it should make a pretty significant difference. Years ago I was a big-time long-distance runner and did the carb loads and stuff so I think also making a bigger effort into getting back into running shape will help significantly. I already walk roughly 10k steps a day but getting running in would def help as well.
