I did it some time ago right after high school, definitely home cooked, not a big fan of fast foods. it takes some self discipline - basically like with any type of routines, every time you have to remind yourself not to forget and keep sticking with your decision until it becomes enjoyable. food tasted plain for first couple of weeks or so, then your taste adjusts, you get used to it and food become taste pretty much normal again. I eliminated adding salt into cooking and salads and would use regular dressings from store which have some salt in them while was getting used to the plain taste
the key is to enjoy food, in this case learn to enjoy your food again, you can enjoy "plainness" in basic foods/taste while having a taste of it, mix it up for a variety and use some spice. I don't think I was eating much meat at that time, so can't really say anything about not salted meat - but i guess it would be the same especially in the beginning, don't salt meat and if using sauces - they will get you plenty of salt during the transitional time.
