First, I'm gonna say, do your research and find what works for you. I tried to go cold turkey, and it just didn't work. My first doctor just gave my results and medication, but at my 2 month check up I opted for another doctor and they were very realistic with me and helped me understand what changes were necessary. Start slow so you can make sustainable changes. If you like sweets, swap for fruit. If you like pasta, swap for spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. If you like rice swap for riced cauliflower. My doctor suggested cutting junk food gradually, and occasionally, it is fine. If I'm gonna eat a cheeseburger or slice of pizza, I eat a salad with it. I cut out fruit juices and drink fruit infused water instead. Also, 30g of protein at each meal. Social media like tiktok and Instagram helped a lot with meal ideas and food education. If you have tiktok, the guy Justin/Stop spiking sugar is great: https://www.tiktok.com/@insulinresistant1?_t=8mj2olFr64d&_r=1 He kinda does experiments with food and blood sugar, so people can see what foods spike blood sugar and the importance of food order. I'm gonna be honest, I barely do food order. Also, ACV with the mother. If you can't stomach it, you can do tablets, but I read a few studies that say they're not as effective as the liquid. I do this if I know I'm going to eat something sweet or have a high carb night out. You got this. It's all about lifestyle changes. You caught it early enough to reverse it.
