Except for special occasions: no vegetable oil, no wheat, less sugar.

I agree with much of the paleo, keto, weight lifting and meditation submissions on here. I would add that I think there isn't much better for you than saturated and monounsaturated fat and that there isn't much worse for you than "vegetable" (industrial seed) oils because of their high (especially omega-6) polyunsaturated fat content.

Two books I would really recommend are "Perfect Health Diet" by the Jaminets and "The Paleo Manifesto" by John Durant. "The Paleo Manifesto" is a 30,000ft view of health from an ancestral perspective. The "Perfect Health Diet" delves into the chemistry of metabolism and is very interesting in it's own right if you're into that kind of thing.
