Overall Progression:
Break everything down into small achievable phases to avoid the conventional wisdom and associated "failure penalty". Do not try to tackle everything at once - success can be achieved in small steps.
Work on diet first and then physical activity/exercise getting comfortable with each small change before attempting another:
Steps 1-4: Dietary Progression
1. High Carb ----> Low Carb
2. Low Carb Processed ----> Low Carb Whole Foods
3. Low Carb Whole Foods ----> Low Carb Whole Foods No Sweeteners*
4. Primal Food ----> Primal with Primal Eating Patterns**
Steps 5-6: Physical Activity/Exercise Progression:
5. Minimal Activity ----> Normal Activity
6. Normal Activity ----> Moderate Primal Exercise
* a.k.a Primal Food
**Periodic Intermittent Fasting.
Seems like a lot of changes but if taken one at a time the change becomes part of everyday life without an intrusive feeling. This is not your standard diet and exercise regimen, rather it is a path to change lifestyle on a permanent basis.
