The best single piece of advice I can give you to help control some of the effects of this is to eat every 3 hours you are awake. It doesn't have to be much, but it should be something.

This will bring your insulin / glucose swings under control (that may be up-regulating due to the cortisol stress reaction). A good small protein source along with some fresh fruit of veggie is a good choice. I pack a boiled egg and some chopped up veggies for my snacks. It helps.

This advice came from the medical staff at our clinic where we deal with chronic metabolic and pain conditions (along with cancer and a few other things). Weight loss is not our primary focus, but it is a good side effect of much of what we do.

Good luck to the OP.
