Hi jenni
I'm about 4 months ahead of you and am still learning so please dont try to learn it all and do it all at once. There is so much info out there, and more research being done daily.
Stress raises BG too, so first simple steps. Cut out all sugar, including honey, agave, sweetners too if you can. Cut out bread, pasta rice and potatoes and all fruit except for 3-4 strawberries a day while they are in season. Put any worries about fat and cholesterol aside for a few weeks at least. Let your sugars come down while you pause for breath. If you are hungry eat nuts or olives or cheese, but only small amounts. Otherwise simple meat fish or egg based meals with veg or salad. Simples
Then, and only when you are happy to, you can look at timing of food, and making anyother adjustments or choices. They really aren't important right now.
As example in 4 months I have gone from carbs and chocolholic to very low carb, 2 meals a day contemplating doing longer fats and going more keto , even toying with carnivore...but it will still be few months before I do any of these, when the time feels right. I have only gradually got to this stage having done lots of reading and research and listening to my body. I have lost at least 2 stone and 8 inches from my waist. I haven't been hungry. My skin is good and my digestion first rate. There have been hiccups, stalls and bad days and I never ever thought I would like some of the things I now love to eat...clotted cream straight off the spoon, grilled cheese without the toast but now I do because I can see my body loving it and healing.
Just be kind to yourself and to your body, take it slowly and you will get there and heal. Just dont pressure yourself with targets, decisions and anxiety. You've a lifetime yet xx
