I'm not 100% dairy free, but have cut way down on it.
I've substituted in almond milk and soy milk (the original, not that nasty vanilla flavored gunk)
My wife and I use vegan cheese for a lot of our recipes and we go meatless on Mondays and have cut meat down to becoming side dishes rather than main courses. By bulking up on the veggies, cutting down the dairy, meat and bread, we're both feeling better.
I packed on some pounds when she was pregnant and just made some simple changes like those and lost 30 pounds and more importantly, have kept it off.
I still enjoy a good buffet and steak house once in awhile, but that has become a treat rather than a regular dining pattern.
I haven't gone gluten free, but have reduced the amount I consume. I'm 42 and don't have the metabolism I once did but have found I don't have to go the extreme diet route, just make a few changes, add more walking and exercise into my day and I've been feeling like I'm in my 20s again.
