Consider CALP - the second book by the Hellers (calp is short for carbohydrate addicts lifespan program - ignore the rest of the title, it was for marketing, it's not just for those 40 and up.).
CALP is not for just weight loss though many do lose a good amount on it (100 or more), but it is a lifestyle and very doable for maintenance if you use another lc diet to lose.

If you are an atkins leaning person who doesn't decide to do atkins, go check out George Stella's "stella style"...at the least, get his cookbooks - just awesome recipes, many that work well with calp, and other LC approaches (his most recent I'm not as much a fan of, get one of his earlier cookbooks).
