What is a good diet for someone who wants to cut weight, but not necessarily give up

[howardrick]

I love food, and will probably never have the discipline to diet properly. I don't want to look like a body builder, but would like to keep my weight off since I recently lost 30 lbs.Is there a good diet out there with good food that helps lose weight, or just keep weight off? Or a guide to nutrition because I have never been a 3 meals a day type of person.

I've had the best luck when focusing on keeping my protein intake fairly high (1g per pound of body weight), and avoiding high glycemic index carbs.

When I go back to high glycemic index carbs (bread, white potatoes, cake, etc.) is when I start to fatten up again...
