starting heather's diet really isn' that hard. read through the diet info on the website (more than once, probably, to really take in all of the info). if you can buy the book or get it from a library, that's good, too, because it's a little clearer, i think, and more in depth. but even if you just go by the website, it's doable. (that's what i did.)
as for where to start, start with the diet. the most important thing, i guess, is to eliminate triggers - dairy, alcohol, caffeine, fatty/fried foods, etc. (the website has the whole list.) if you're having bad symptoms now, you should also do the breaking-the-cycle diet for a few days (no more than three). once you're done with that, start carefully integrating protein, fruits, and veggies - the website explains what and how.
and of course, the boards are a great place for support. keep in mind that people on the boards often have their own personalized ways of using the diet - the website is the basics, the boards are often the fringes/margins. but it's still a great resource.
hope that helps - let me know if you have any questions or anything.
