Eat oats, sprouted grain bread, brown rice. Try to get most of your carbs from veggies. Best thing too do is pre plan your meals, cook them for the week and put them in containers.
Get yourself s good protein powder, of you get hungry make a shake as a snack, or be creative and make protein brownies.

This is easy enough to do until you try to be social. That's where most diets fall down. What do you do when your mother in law worked all day for that Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Fathers day dinner? What do you do when you go out with work colleagues. Dieting is lame. You need to get a program that is flexible across a lot of situations.
Another thing, age is a huge factor. A lot of the stuff like don't drink beer works until age 30 or so. Then even that is not enough for most.
