I have a plan that involves counting, but not WW points. The WW points are based on low-fat and don't work very well with low carb. You end up hungry because you don't get enough points to have enough fat and protein.

My counting is, I have a certain number of grams per day for protein, fat, and carb. Then I just count those. I love it and find it very workable.

Like for example, my protein grams per day are at least 60+ grams, just counting the high-quality animal protein (not the protein in veggies).
Carb grams are 55 net per day.
Fat grams are 60-90 per day.

Then I make them into smallish meals (a pain, but large meals make me not lose). I like to have the meals evened out so I don't get the overeating and buffet effect. (also a trigger)

So, for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner:

12-18 g protein
12 g net carb, all veggies okay, even starchy ones
15-25 g fat.
