@johndiver — Several points.

* Depending on your host they may be able to provide you support in cleaning this up and/or restoring from a backup.

* The info suggested by @bemdesign is definitely good first steps.

* If you’re not comfortable with any of these steps or want a professional I suggest obtaining a cleanup service from someone like WordFence https://www.wordfence.com/wordfence-site-cleanings/ or Sucuri https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/completediet.com/.

Good luck!
