I don't think it's possible to really eat healthy anymore, unless you are growing it, or slaughtering it yourself, or you have some closer understanding/connection to its source, such as a local farm & butcher, farmers market, etc.
It's really not that hard to eat healthy, you just have to avoid 9 out of 10 aisles.
I really don't think the biggest problem for someone drinking 2L of coke a day, or living mostly on ham sandwiches and hot dogs, is seed oils or oxalic acid.
I do think high PUFA seed oils are often an issue there… they cause damage to the liver, and mitochondria, such that people feel worse, and have less energy- which in turn promotes both inactivity, and overeating. There is lots of good data on various species of lab animals getting NAFLD and metabolic diseases when swapping out MUFA and SFA for PUFA.

Definitely, keep listening to the nonsense 'science' that has caused the unhealthiest population in the history of the world. Don't forget to lay off the eggs and salt!
I tried something similar to fix my stomach / immune system health ailments but I gained weight and I was hungry all the time. This was after being 95% vegetarian for ~10 years (which I blame for my progressively worse issues). Ultimately I went carnivore and I've been carnivore for 1.5 year, my weight went down to the one I had when I was 20, I eat once a day and I'm less tired after sleeping too little.
I also know that people who copied the diet of Freelee (the banana girl) had horrible results all around.
I find it hard to believe that people would lie about their experience (what would they gain from it?). I wonder if there is some genetic trait which predisposes towards needing a drastically different diet to achieve good results.
• Eat more protein. (low carb)
• Eat less. (calories restriction)
• Skip breakfast. (intermediate fasting)
Pick two of these rules every day.
Another thing that improved my wellbeing is that I started eating more and making sure I exercise.
And lastly, the third thing that has helped me is that I make sure to not skip breakfast. Need to break the fast and get some glucose for my brain.
Not refuting your experience, just saying that nutrition is weird and seems to be highly personal.
Some aspects of the results were hard for me to interpret though. Although some risk seemed to increase in a dose dependent way, some didn't. For example, with refined grains once you got out of the lowest quintile, your risk went up but it didn't seem to be dose dependent. So the gains were in eliminating refined grains or not? Sugar consumption though was different: there seemed to be gains to any reduction in sugar. I wonder if those kinds of nonlinearities would replicate or not.
