I understand and I appreciate your concern. Thanks to your posts, I now have a plan of action that I think may help.
I won't cut anything out of my diet completely, I'll just cut back. For example, this morning I ate all the same fresh fruit that I usually have with my breakfast. But instead of 4 (1/2 cup) servings, I just had 2 servings. It was the same variety of fruit but less. Then I had my usual steel-cut oats with chopped nuts.
Here's another part of my plan: For lunch I'll make a salad that contains all the same ingredients but somewhat less of the vegetables and more of the legumes/beans.
For dinner I'll do basically the same except it will be a soup. I'll put somewhat more emphasis on beans and pasta or rice. Nothing will be left out, I'll just change the emphasis. Being that I have fruit with breakfast and lunch I'll skip having any fruit after dinner.
It's already working! I'll do an update tomorrow.
