I have two:
The first is experiment, experiment, experiment. Consciously try different things with clear intent and be curious about what happens next. Two things that I've tried more than once are eTRF and Whole30, but I suspect the specific interventions matter less than the way experiments make you pay attention.
The second is to understand what you use food for. Food is such a primal thing; your relationship to it extends well beyond your memories and goes much deeper than just fuel for your body. But a lot of us don't notice. Just for myself, I have used food for entertainment, distraction, pain relief, celebration, avoidance, human connection, and to fight sadness. Experimenting will help you see this too. E.g., if I take a month off of sugar and other refined carbs, then I won't be able to use ice cream to cheer myself up. So I'll have to be present in the sadness for a while and figure out what else, if anything, to do with it.
