I recommend Reinhard Engles' "The No S Diet". It sounds gimmicky, but the entire "diet" is printed on the front cover and even Engles admits you don't need to buy the book.

Actually, that doesn't really sound gimmicky to me. No snacks, no sweets, no seconds makes fairly good sense. Though I think that one might want to define just what constitutes a "sweet", having just had a bit of watermelon with my lunch. And the cherry tomatoes I grow, those are practically a sweet! (Edit: Whoops, just saw that fruit is OK... should've read further down.)
I've changed my diet quite a bit during the last four years actually, I eat a lot of whole food, which I prepare myself. Cooking burns calories! I love veggies, so those are no problem. I actually don't snack for the most part, and when I serve something like chili or soup or stew or casserole, it's one serving for both me and hubby and the rest is portioned for further meals during the week.
So I would say I am mostly on board with this sort of plan already.
