Hi there! Welcome!
I was at one time following Atkins. Still resort to the lowering of my carbs healthy carb choices when I really get on my game. I still need work in that area for sure though.
I also use sparkpeople.com to help me know how to keep a good balance in anything I eat and to help me make better choices.
Good luck to you. Try to not think of the "D" word. Think more like lifestyle of healthy choices. Look for easy quick success goals. You will find good results if you can make a success for your journey.
