I have been there and I still am in some way. There are two things I have found to be working
1. Reduce friction as much as possible. I am currently living in a condo with swimming pool / gym. To start exercice I just need to take the elevator. I pair it with an audio books or podcast, I am able to get consistent exercice with it.
2. I spend few weeks doing wide explorative phase. For example, I was addicted to soda and junk food. I tried dozens of water brands until I could find a decent replacement (San Pellegrino sparkling water and fruit infusion for me) and when it comes to vegetables I settled down for chicken, eggplant. I also go to a healthy place for breakfast where I get real oatmeal with fruits.
I also replaced coffee with matcha.
I then exploit it. I eat the same thing everyday switching only when I am with family/friends. I discovered that I don't really need new things. (That's what I do when I am on my productive phase of course, when I am back to having more relaxing time, I enjoy reading, trying new healthy things, walking/biking more, etc).
This way, when I am working long hours, everything else is put in autopilot and I don't want to think about it. I want my default choice to be decent.
