I have lost fat and have gained better health by following this and the other program I mention in My Profile!.
You will get everything you need by eating the following, listed in order of importance:
Raw leafy green veggies (romaine, red and green leaf lettuces, kale spinach, etc)
Solid green veggies - raw, steamed or frozen (asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, peas, peppers, etc)
Non-green, non-starchy (beets, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, etc)
Beans/legumes - cooked, canned or sprouted ( chickpeas, pinto beans, black beans, etc)
Fresh fruits (apples, bananas, oranges, watermelon, etc)
Starchy veggies (white potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, corn, carrots, etc)
Whole grains (barley, millet, oats, brown rice, quinoa, etc)
Raw nuts and seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc)
Do not skip breakfast!. Oatmeal with fresh fruit!. No sugar or milk!. Rice or almond milk is better!. Smoothies can be good too, depending on what you put in it!.
You don't have to eat eggs, fish or meat for protein!. You can still eat them, but a huge salad with some chicken would be better!.
Don't count calories or carbs!. Diets and pills don't work!. Man made vitamins are just that "man made"!. Man can not copy all the nutrients that are found in live foods!.
Drink filtered water!. City water may have added chemicals!. Can you really trust bottled water!?
Pop is one of the worst things you can put in your body!. Stay away from sugar, junk food and fast food!.
Great exercises: walking, biking, swimming!.

Are you male or female!? It just going from 35% to 19% is quite a big drop!. If you are female, just getting to 25%-28% would be healthy!. And then you can reasses at that point!. It's better to have small goals that are more easily achievable and then you can just do it a little at a time!.
I really don't know how long it will take because you did not give other details such as weight and height!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
