I think you can easily combine WW with a low carb diet. I personally have to eat a higher protein diet with lots of fiber rich low glycemic carbs to stay full, keep my blood sugar balanced and just feel good.
My SIL is doing Atkins right now and has been very sucessful with it and enjoys it, for me it just didn't work. I felt to restrictive and don't like that there were foods that were "off limits". I dont think that is a bad thing, just didn't work for me. She is now up to eating about 40 grams of carbs a day and is still loosing weight easily.
South Beach I think is a *great* diet and it is NOT low carb. I did it for 2 weeks and I didn't loose a single pound, though I felt fantastic!! The only thing I could think of is I must have eaten to large of portions, it said to eat till you are full but not stuffed and that is what I did but I still didn't loose anything. So now I plan to still follow a South Beach type diet but stay within my WW points.
Overall I love WW because you can do with it what you want--low carb, high carb, low fat, high fat, junk food, healthy, nursing moms, basically you can customize it to meet your needs and goals and that is what I like about WW.
