Watching what - calories, fats, or carbs?
With seemingly endless amount of diets in the world, it all boils down to only three principal types of them: limiting calories, fats, or carbohydrates. Which one is best for you?
Generally, limiting calories is a very beneficial approach, health benefits-wise. It also requires self-discipline, so the best results are achieved with programs offering planning, support, and psychological services, online or offline.Limiting fats works well for physically very active people, not obese, and spending high amounts energy including calories from food carbohydrates.
For obese people and those with insulin resistance, the best way of eating is limiting their carbohydrate total intake and/or the kind of carbs in their foods (complex versus simple, fast absorbing versus slowly absorbing).

I stand by what I said before. Eliminate sugar and limit net carbs. If you do this and start listening to your body for hunger and satisfied cues, the fat, protein, fiber, and calories that you eat will balance themselves out.
Limiting calories is ridiculous because if you eat all the wrong foods, you're just setting yourself up for failure. Limiting fats and/or proteins is wrong too, because your body needs those. The only carb you really need is fiber. Your body can't handle sugar or net carbs, so you shouldn't try to make it handle them. Try to eat as many natural foods as possible. There are also plenty of low-carb recipes out there; you just have to take the time to look for them.
