No sugar, No grains. Cutting back on mindless between meal snacking and also quit drinking beer/wine every night.

Basically just that. I'm down 20 lbs and still losing weight and it's been a breeze.

No additional exercise or calorie counting. (Though I was already walking a couple miles everyday).

Actually the first couple weeks were awful as I was kicking the sugar addiction. I didn't lose weight during that period since I was over eating other foods to compensate. But I didn't gain either and I was eating basically as much as I wanted without trying to feel stuffed.

Once I got used to not eating sugar, cutting back on my eating was easy. I didn't have the hunger pangs I used to, and I often have to remind myself to eat at meal times. (Which is crazy for me since I'm a glutton).

I still drink from time to time, and I haven't been crazy strict with it after the first couple weeks, but I'm still seeing great results.

Google NSNG and Vinnie Tortorich, he has a pod cast about this stuff. Very down to earth advice.
