Hey Stephanie!

By far, I'm defintely not the most experienced person in this forum, but I think the most important thing on getting started is to be VERY patient and understand that the transition is slow. Also, be easy on yourself. The best way to start, imo, is by introducing more grains to your diet. Then, slowly eliminating processed foods and sugar. Another important thing for someone who's starting is to not create a million rules (prohibited foods, etc); try to look for the foods you should eat rather than rule out the ones you shouldn't. This avoids a lot of obssesing and anxiety. Keep on studying and good luck. Remember this is a process (a long one); there are no deadlines and no final goal other than learning more about your body and how to make it healthier.
