If it was me, I'd probably give the dietician's meal plan a try but modify it to match your current caloric intake. I'd guess your weight gain with previous higher carb diets was more related to consuming nearly 2800 calories vs. the 2200 you're consuming now. BMR is great as a general guide, but if you've been tracking your weight over a long period of time and you figure 2200 is your maintenance level, then stick with that. Is it possible to have your BMR tested to confirm your observations?
Personally I'm pretty skeptical that any diet plan that completely eliminates a bunch of normal foods is a good idea in the long run. I'd stick with the healthy foods you like and try to build a balanced diet plan around that. If you just avoid eating a bunch of junk you'll already be ahead of about 90% of the population.
