The Paleo diet worked but is too difficult to maintain. I'm going instead for avoiding all refined sugar.
Humans have lived for all of recorded history on grains. Civilization would not be possible without agriculture so grains can't be all that bad. Sugar is a different story. Refined sugar is a relative newcomer to us.
Avoiding sugar will eliminate virtually all processed foods and is quite simple to follow. Easy to follow, no, but simple.
I had a last binge today before going on the plan tomorrow and boy did I binge.
Sugar is like a drug. Just a little bit sets off intense cravings for more. I expect an unpleasant and intense withdrawal period until I get off of the drug.
