I am following Lean for Life which is a low carb (not as extreme low carb as Atkins) but it works. I lost over 70# in 2003/2004 and I hope that I can do it again! It's very good, you start with "Prep days" to get your body in the weight loss mode, then you do 3 days where you only eat protein, then 4 days of regular weight loss, then 1 protein day, 6 days of weight loss. Here's a 'basic' rundown:
Basics - Days 1-3 protein days. 6-12 approx 100 calorie protein snacks that are low carb, low fat. Examples - 4oz cottage cheese, 1 hb egg, 2 egg whites, 2.5 oz tuna, 3.5 oz fresh fish.
Days 4-7 - Same, but at B add one fruit or grain and L, D add - one veg, one fruit and 2c lettuce. 1 fruit per day should be citrus.
Day 8 and each week thereafter - protein day (as above)
Each day may be broken down like this:
snack,,,b-fast,,,snack,,lunch,,,snack,,dinner. You can put theam snack after dinner if you like also.
The first 6 weeks look like this:
3 protein days,,,4 fruit ,veggie and protein days
1 protein day,,,6 protein,,veggie and fruit days
1 protein day,,6 protein,,veggie and fruit days
1 protein day,,6 protein,,veggie and fruit days
14 days of metabolic adjustment
