My bottom line? Hack the mind first. Don’t simply stop at “X is beneficial for the body” but also “is X an easy choice to make” and “how to arrange things so that X becomes an almost unavoidable and joyful choice to make”. Stop just telling people they should do things they dislike doing. It is almost never a lack of information: people who simply don’t dislike it all are never fat even if they know nothing. (These people engage in active hobbies, they simply forget to eat, they hate feelling too full, and they are uninterested in oral pleasure and just absent-mindedly grab a sandwich between one fun activity and another.) That is my bottom line: it is the lack of motivation, not information, and largely because it is formulated so that it is not enjoyable. (Actually right now, when I finished this comment, I will take a lunch break (from procastinating at “work”, yeah) and buy a slice of pizza while fully knowing the issues with it, but right now my stomach feels so that it would not feel content with a salmon on wholemeal rye bread combo which I buy on my stronger days for lunch.)
