Once in college i started to follow few simple heuristics and immediately noticed improvements of my skin and overall health.

Just made them a subconcious habbit since then:

1. Near Zero junk food (besically everything in celluloid packages making loud noise and any mcdonalds type of restaurant)

2. As little processed food as possible, especially meat. Cook as much as I can from raw materials.

(meaning i buy a raw piece of meat and cook it if i want meat, not preprocessed, prepackaged, precooked, prefrozen something)

3. No sugar or sugar based food (coke, cakes etc)

4. Nothing deep fried on the pan or in the oil. This alone helped me get rid of acne in few weeks back then.

5. As little quick carbohydrates as possible

6. No pork meat (this one I caught up living in Israel)

7. Not too much meat (few times a week is enough for me), and no meat before sleep.

Of course its impossible to always follow these in the modern world. I just try to follow them when I have a choice.

Regarding the planning, i find it impossible, being a bit adhd myself.

I just cook and buy whatever and whenever i feel like in the moment (or find in my freezer :)
