Default how does one do atkins right when they can't even figure it out after reading DANDR?

I was doing a moderate SBD type plan for a while. But...my blood sugar was going crazy and I was passing out by 4:00pm. My doctor recommended a stricter lc approach such as atkins. I ignored her and went on a fruit and nut binge for a week. Then I started what I thought was atkins (in reality I ate waaaaay too much cheese and bleu cheese and eggs and carby lunch meat) and gained 8 lbs. I am rather pissed. At myself mostly. I really want to lose these 8 lbs! And yes as I have stated before I have had an eating disorder but my doctor is perfectly happy with my weight and he also said I should'nt be gaining 8 lbs and should try to lose them. I read DANDR but I am having trouble following the diet. How much fat is 65-70%???? I am afraid to eat any now b/c of my weight gain and am looking at going back to high carb low fat.
here's my greatly shaved down menu...
b: chicken breast,broccoli, fried in coconut oil
l: salmon, spinach, some fatty dressing
d: a turkey burger, some mushrooms and bell peppers fried in olive oil.

I keep gaining inches and it is not funny!
