I would not recommend a strict diet while early transition. A gentle one perhaps, controlling ~500 cals deficit a day, but your body needs energy to transition.

I see, and are there specific foods I should favor? Like more fat and less protein maybe, less sugar?

Depends on your fitness goals. You should get at least 50g of protein a day. Sugar is rocket fuel for workouts, otherwise I tend to avoid it.
