Welcome to the board Katy!

Weight loss is a great side-effect of this WOE.

Have you read Protein Power? The plan is a little more lenient than Atkins. The Protein Power Life Plan is a good read too.

Cutting out the sugars and starches is a good first step and it is wonderful that you realize some adjustment may be necessary in the future. Approaching this WOL with an open mind will ensure your success.
