most people can see huge gains in health just with cutting out the majority of their processed sugar intake and upping their activity level. no need to resort to stronger methods until you've exhausted the low hanging fruit.
I think you're right for most cases, but it does depend on your utility function. If you have a strong sweet tooth & love bread, but don't have a need to fill your stomach regularly, then this might be a less difficult alteration than cutting out most processed sugar.
Agreed. But it would probably also be good to address one's addictions to sugar and gluten eventually. I've seen enough people with strong sweet teeth who loved bread do it; it is more achievable / less painful than most people seem to imagine.
overestimating the risks/costs of any habit change is almost universal.
