Re: Taking Prozac with diet?

Welcome!

I agree with everyone's advice to do the steps slowly, one at a time. It really works so much better, and it's easier on your brain and your body. That doesn't mean you have to add lots of sugar back in, just concentrate on the step you are on instead of concentrating on not eating sugar. So step 1 is breakfast.
enough protein
a complex carb
within an hour of getting up
every day
How is breakfast going?

If you aren't having a serious problem with depression, anxiety etc, I might hold off on the Prozac, simply because once you are on it, you have to do a taper to come off. But if you are having bad issues with OCD etc then it's a good idea to take it. I was on Prozac when I started the program, and when it was time, I was able to taper off of it without a problem.
