The way I lose weight is to find foods I like that fill me up and don't have that many calories.
When I'm more busy than usual and have to go long stretches without eating I eat proteins to keep me going longer. Eggs baby! Oh yeah. Egg whites are low in calories and keep you going.
Right now I eat oatmeal with fruit, juice and coffee in the mornings, a baked potato for lunch, toast and laughing cow soft cheese for a snack, then an Amy's frozen dinner.
Last week I ate soup and salad instead of the potato.
I usually loose a pound a week like that. So far I lost 19 pounds.
Besides it's easier to maintain after coming off the diet because you're not changing from someone else's system. You will still eat the foods you like.

I go by the height, weight, calories ratio.
