The one I have been using is the "Carbohydrate Addiction Diet". It is very easy, and doable over years.
You basically eat no carbs during most of the day (forbidden also is palate-fooling foods, such as sugarless gum and diet soda) and for the evening you divide your plate into thirds - one third vegetables, one third proteins, and one third eating carbohydrate. You must not spend over an hour eating this meal, to minimize sustained insulin release.
I like it because it allows for a treat, and if I run into anything I really want, it is only at the most 24 hours before I can eat it. Also, things like weddings and special occasions, Christmas Dinner, etc, fit well into it. Just start out with a nice salad and some shrimp cocktail and you can finish up with that piece of Coconut Custard Pie that it doesn't seem like Christmas without - and you haven't broken the diet regimen. (Of course you are not supposed to "binge".)
The best book I think they have about it (the Hellers) is the "Carbohydrate Lifespan Diet".
