The closest one to having any "evidence based" is the whole "Mediterranean diet" one which, as far as I can tell, you (Rachel) more or less already follow.
http://thischangedmypractice.com/weight-loss-in-healthy-people/ this is the post (the basic site is maintained by UBC med school) that made my mom hush in her previously slightly-annoying-standard-for-mainstream fixation on what I ate, and it has a crapload of sources at the bottom.
I mean it seems very very clear to me that what's happening is you're running into people who don't realize that this shit is not "do this and you Will Be Healthy", it's "do this and the shit that we know gets caused by not doing this won't happen, or won't happen as much, but actually there's so much other shit that could happen that who knows whether you'll actually be healthy or not, it's just you won't be for sure LESS healthy?"
It's like, if you're miserable-angry AND you haven't eaten or slept well lately, the first good step is to eat and maybe get some solid sleep, because those things are enough in and of themselves to cause Misery and Anger, and that way you can eliminate them as potential causes.
BUT you might still be miserable and angry later, because they're not the ONLY things that can cause them. So.
tl;dr as far as I can tell you are in fact doing everything "right" and you're just getting shitty luck, and also shitty luck in running into doctors who find this offends their just-world fallacy comfort zone.
