I think that’s quite a personal thing

Your nurse will be giving you general suggestions, and basing their advice on a mixture of up to date clinical evidence, but also on their experience of seeing multiple patients in their practice over the years, and what ‘generally’ seems to work. So you’ll be getting the benefit of lots of experience, but none of it is exactly you as an individual - so sometimes you have to try things out for yourself
But we have several members who have found that intermittent fasting is a very helpful strategy. And others have experimented with structures like 5:2 and found they helped them.
Conversely, we have other members who have found exactly those strategies didn’t work for them!
As you’ve already discovered the Internet can be full of conflicting advice, and you can find sources that will insist that pretty much anything is either essential, or a complete disaster! The forum hive mind can be very helpful in terms or filtering through some of that contrary craziness!
Did you find the appointment with your nurse helpful?
