From my personal experience, if you cut out sugar pretty much entirely, eat minimal carbs, and give your digestive system atleast 14 hours rest between dinner and breakfast, you will be amazed how quickly your health turns around (not to mention weight loss).
Why this is hidden in plainsight beats me. I watched my wife do this for 6 months before I even started because I was that skeptical. And once I started, it was so easy. The daily fasting really kicks your body off of sugar dependance, reduces insulin, and next thing you know you dont even crave sugar. And if you keep it up, you are actually turned off by the same sweet stuff you always liked.
I have noticed that with this, eating reasonable amount of carbs as part of regular meals during the day is fine. And by reasonable, for me its third carbs, third veggies and third meat. The 14 hours gap is the crucial part, because that gives a chance to burn the carbs and also burn some of the stored fat.
To add to that, avoid whole wheat "healthier option" pastas. I'm from a pasta eating family, and I've noticed that the closer to the proper Italian pasta my noodles are (as in made with durum flour and as fresh as possible), the better I feel after eating them.

IDK man... Bought a flour mill and made me some fresh whole wheat pasta. That stuff is incredible.
