I think the Dean Ornish ideas have merit, but I think he's a little too militant with the fat aversion. You can't live very long without some fat. Cholesterol is, after all, a building block for all cell membranes and many sex hormones, and a major component in brain tissue. The liver in healthy persons usually manufactues all the cholesterol we need, but you still need fatty acids that you body can't manufacture, like Omega-3, 6, and 9.
But, to answer your question, I have used the Zone diet and found it worked for me. I posted this to beardedlady several days ago but it archived off the page so quickly I'm not even sure she saw it:

Hope this helps.
