Look to the prior post. You may be able to work up to having a SFS as a base, but not off the bat. Yeah, part of the reason why I lost weight was because I stopped eating anything fried, but I also stopped eating a lot of veggies and fruits I had been eating. and I still have something sweet everyday (safe soy ice cream, sorbet, cake). And I'm eating more than I did before. And still lost weight.
But I agree that you need to prioritize your health. I'm not watching my weight as it's far more important to get my IBS under control. I just happened to be losing weight, very slowly.
First, get yourself as stable as you can, then try adding foods back in. Everyone has different tolerances. A lot of people mix in mashed broccoli or califlower with their potato. Most squash is very good for you.
But you're not going to get stable as long as you're freaking out about the food choices. Definitely don't rush the increase in the SFS as that will definitely cause more problems. Experiment with how much of the "white food" you need to eat in order to safely eat other veggies.
I was really afraid of gaining weight on this diet and I find myself eating healthier than I ever have and my stomach is better than it's ever been. Yes, you've always been healthy and watched what you ate. But it's more important to feel better.
Take some deep breaths. And change as much food as you feel you can right now and see if you feel better. Cut out the more "dangerous" IF items (high fiber, whole wheat is the worst for me). Take it slowly. You don't have to radically change your diet if it's only going to freak you out. That will negate any changes you have made.
Hang in there. You will get the hang of it.
