Your on the right track! Just make the healthiest choices you can. More fruits and Veggies and less meat. I won't even begin to claim any one way ... there is not.
I started about two years ago now. I just kept it simple ... at leas in the beginning. It was more my will to want to get better that has seen me lose a ton of unhealthy weight rather than finding out some secret in a book. Having said that though I have found a lot of info that has helped. That's more for later though.
Work on avoiding the toxic crap to start with. It's hard enough to stop going through the drive throughs and all over convenience food troughs at the mall and on the streets. Once you nail that stop bring junk and processed foods home from the store. Give away and just throw out what's already in the shelves. It only gets better from there. Don't worry about changing diary, meat, poultry and or going vegan or paleo ... that's too much effort and will see many fail from the start. Been there done that. The time will come when your feeling stronger to experiment with all that and find out for yourself. Forget going by whatever findings. That kind of analytic process just leads people into reading what they want. Go by your own results ... what you feel to be on track or not.
Damn it ... I got to go dude. Srry ... I just wanted to relay a few tips that have helped shaped the new me. I was sick as hell on a variety of mind stabilizers and chronically overweight!!! The only study I have to work off is the one I have put together myself. The above tips are just universal ones I have no doubt that will help if your able to follow them. Fact is ... they are not that appealing to most people already sick. It really is about giving up addictions and food today is as hard to give up as cigarettes and or heroin.
Goto go ... You can do it. Instead of viewing toxins as OK in moderation - The best way to come off them is to view nutritional foods as OK in moderation. Before you know it, the less crap you consume the more you will feel just how sick that junks makes you be and the more you nutritional stuff will start to taste way better than all that other crap. Alas ... I can feel a sermon coming on. I can get pretty motivated when it comes to abstaining from what I must. I still struggle myself. Little by little and it's ok to slip ... but that's more for the maintenance phase ...
Just start by cutting back the crap and expect to get the headaches and feel a little sick. Walking helps to quicken the detox. I also went through a phase of mental instability ... part and parcel of the process.
Good on you for wanting to make changes that counts. Watching what you eat is an excellent place to start.

Not time to edit ... I'm off to the beach. Sunshine is an awesome food and also helps keep the addiction and hunger at bay.
Wishing you all the best!!!
