It's both quite simple to adopt a very low-carbohydrate diet, but also quite difficult. You can do it; but even with all the reading I've done, I still make mistakes. Years of habit building experience promotes automatic (unthinking) decision making. Not always what you want if you need to make changes. If you are changing something as fundamental as your diet, I don't recommend that to do it entirely alone.
I have found that the longer I've been Banting the less I think about it, and the easier it gets. So don't beat yourself up, if at first you don't succeed. Talk to someone. Engage in the long conversation. Most of us have time to make those changes, several years if you are lucky, but your re-education needs to begin. Now is a good time.
