Hi @zand, what a good idea this thread is. I have been in remission for 4 years . I did this by switching to 4 meals a day and no snacking. I do structured exercise sessions 3 times a week (gym & circuits).I've never been overweight so LCHF was a no-no for me. If I eat less than 150g of carbs a day I lose weight very quickly so this is the amount I aim for each day, though some days it as little as 100g. I did a lot of BG testing in the early days to find which meals were good for me and cut out those that weren't.
I eat porridge, oily fish and extra virgin olive oil on salad daily (not for health reasons, because I like them). I avoid the usual suspects such as potatoes, bread and pasta, I have found I can still eat chocolate (proper chocolate, not that cardboardy high cocoa stuff) without spiking as long as I keep it in moderation i.e. less that 30g of carbs. My biggest sacrifice has been giving up tiger bread!
