Hello, today is the first day of the rest of my life, and I would love some help! I don't know where to begin, but i feel a low carb, high protein diet sounds like it might work..I am insulin-resistant diabetic, with high blood pressure and cholesterol. Please someone put me on the right path! Thank you!

I thought about the high protien Atkins like diets.. my problem is that I have high cholesterol as well and the high protien sometimes also leads to increased fat intake which is not necessarily good for me since I do have cholesterol problems.
