I will try to explain my plan, I'm a tweaker, so I can't say I follow any one plan 100%.  So call this the Julie-Body for Life-Calorie/Fat/Carb Counter Plan.  ROFL.  Sorry, this might be LONG.  There are 3 basic principles I follow:

 

1.  The Body for Life exercise plan, and the basic concepts of the eating plan.  I do eat 6 small meals per day and always pair a carb with a protein in each meal.  I don't use many supplements, but sometimes use the protein bars for convenience.  I only eat very lean meats such as turkey breast, chicken breast, or 95% or leaner beef.  There is one free day per week where I allow a meal, not the whole day, to be anything I want.  The exercise is by the book though...3 days weights, 3 days cardio alternating, and Sundays off.  Portion sizes are very important, a fist is a portion size for most foods, the palm of your hand is a portion size for a lean meat.

 

I do use a list of "acceptable foods".  The complete list can be found on the Discovery Health Challenge diet plan, but you have to sign up I think.  http://bodychallenge.discovery.com/discovery/  It's a good list and worth signing up for.

 

2.  I calorie count.  This is a no-no on BFL I guess, but I don't care, I was doing this long before I discovered BFL.  Right now I'm eating 1500 calories per day and losing an average of 2 pounds per week.  Don't sweat the daily or weekly readings on the scale, look month to month instead.  So many factors determine weight gains/loss.  For the best consistency, weigh first thing in the morning on the same scale every time.  If you are wanting to calorie count, http://www.hussman.org/fitness/ is a site you should read thoroughly.  Find out your BMR and go from there. 

 

3.  I count fat/carbs/protein just to make sure nothing get's out of hand.  My ratios are not the same every day, but usually in this range:  30-40% Protein, 30-40% Carbohydrates, and under 20% Fat with very little saturated fat.  This has worked for me very well, and has completely overhauled my triglyceride/cholesterol readings in a year's time.

 

That's the basic idea for my tweaked plan.  It's definitely a hybrid, but is working very well for me.
