Hi
Welcome to our international ADBB family
As Georgiana has mentioned, once you get used to reading the list of ingredients in foods you buy/cook it isn't too complicated.
Even though you are not used to doing so it would make your first few weeks on Atkins much easier if you were to plan in detail the foods you intend to eat in advance.
To get your 3 cups of veg spread through the day does need planning if you are not going to find yourself either undereating or overeating on carbs at the end of the day.

which I always have taken to heart.
Apart from planning making it easier to decide what groceries to stock up on, if you have worked out what you intend to eat in advance it makes it easier to stick to as you won't have the excuse to grab something off-plan because you are unprepared.
If you are not good at lists or sums to work out your carbs each day you might find using one of the websites which allow you to log all your foods (and measurements/exercising etc) and do all the sums for you.
The one I use is at
www.fitday.com but there are many others around.
I look foward to sharing your Atkins journey along the way towards a slimmer figure and better health
