I am an expert on this but some people do not like when people say this. I am saying this not for you to judge if I am humble or proud, but to consider the information and see if it is expert or not.

As far as the "perfect diet" you would need to eat the perfect combination of foods, in the perfect amounts and the perfect times of the day. There is a way to do this temporaraily and use your willpower. Fasting on pure water fulfills all the above requirements so it is the only perfect diet. It was done by Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Pythogoras and many others.

As far as "having done with it", do you think that it is that easy to go from being an animal to a god. The animal lives by instincts only. Eating and sex were made the most enjoyable things to to do for survival of the individual and of the speces. So it is the purpose of their life and they have no problems with it. The problem is that you have an animal body with those same traits but you have something else or more than that.

That is why humans have all these problems. They are not animals, but posess a human body. This also deals with the purpose of your life which is different than an animal. This is a huge subject but I have a webpage about it called Enlightenment. If you did have an optimal or almost perfect diet, would you then live forever? No, but unlike animals you wonder about this since you are an immortal, eternal being as taught by Socrates.

So if you were Jesus then it would be easy. But to make these changes, do not create a lot of stress doing it since the stress is worse for you than a bad diet. Make little easy changes that are not stressful. Like for example try to chew more since people gulp food without chewing enough (some suggest [not me] to chew each bite 40 times). Also drink as much as much as you want before eating but then do not drink again until at least an hour after the meal is done so as not to dilute the stomach acids.

Notice that you are getting more perfect, but with baby steps. What about digesting fruit with all that water in it. It needs no digestion since it is pre-digested so eat it first on an empty stomach so it can pass through quickly. Then eat other foods 15-20 minutes later. Those other foods will take hours to digest. Eat the healthier foods first since then you have less room in your stomach for unhealthy foods.

These are all easy things to do. For example you have raw fruit first. Then eat a raw salad next. Then after that eat your duck's liver (pate), cooked rat and dog, your chicken neck and back, and then your cakes, cookies and candies. But you can slowly increase the former and decrease the latter. Also do not worry a lot about it since the stress is worse than a bad diet. This is why many with bad diets live a long time-- very little stress. They are all interelated. In fact the stress from trying to improve your diet can make you eat worse.

Again since you have an animal body, your emotions are strongly interelated to the foods that you eat and the sex that you have or do not have. Emotional problems can cause someone to eat so they weigh 400 pounds or they become a rapist. For an animal they are the 2 best things-- eating and sex. But in you there is the struggle between the animal body and divine soul. For Jesus, he appeared to be celibate and did fast for 40 days. Note that it was only after the fast did he heal the sick, walk on water and bring the dead back to life. Note-- I am not a Christian but just commenting on the story about Him.
