Eat more plants, especially green ones. Drink a ton of water. Don't eat anything that comes in a box.

Some less conventional tips:

* no calories from liquid! Water and tea (or black coffee) only. No milk, juice, alcoholic beverages, etc.

* skip breakfast. This is a form of intermittent fasting called time-restricted eating. Hard to implement at first (you will be hungry during the morning), but gets easier over time.

* learn about ketosis and how eat a modified Atkins diet that is mostly plants, meat, and healthy fats.

Time-restricted eating is not about skipping breakfast, but to shorten window for eating[0]. In fact if you move your feeding window later in a day it can bring adverse effect.

Ketosis might be harmful[1]. For some people this might be dangerous[2]

There is not such thing as perfect diet, or "trick" that works for everyone. Problem with diets is that long term results are difficult to measure.
