You might want to take a look at the Protein Power diet by Drs. Michael and
Mary Dan Eades. It is very similar to Atkins, except that the Eades allow
you to subtract the fiber count from the carb count of the food you eat, as
they say fiber is nutritionally inert. If you go with the high-fiber green
leafy veggies you can have lots of them. I don't have my book here because
I lent it to a friend, but I think, for example, you can have up to 14 cups
of lettuce a day without blowing your limit! Cabbage, broccoli and
cauliflower are also good. Pumpkin is another good one. I make crustless
pumpkin pies and love them. 

The Protein Power diet is the one I've been following since May 20 and have
lost 43 pounds on it so far. It's VERY close to Atkins but gives you a
little more variety. The Eades still suggest you supplement, though, as
they say human nature being what it is people are more apt to choose foods
they like and avoid foods they don't like, even if the ones they don't like
provide valuable nutrients.
