Thought I'd share my weight loss. Was diagnosed with borderline type 2 diabetes so for the last 2 or so years I've switched to a very basic diet, no calories counting, one cheat day a month and Christmas and Birthdays off. So far it's worked well, diabetes in remission and feel great. Exercise has been 10000 steps or more a day (sometimes 20000) and push ups on the kitchen counter.
I picked a handful of foods and ate them at every meal and ate snacks whenever. I wasn't overly religious about it and would sometimes eat a chocolate bar or m&ms but the limited foods and no limitations meant I always felt full. I've put a small amount on recently after a Hernia op but in the new year I'm aiming to lose a few more stone.

Foods I ate were
Aldi low fat sausages Chicken breast Rye bread (the fat free one with a German name) Lean ham Cheerios Salad Cabbage Broccolli Almonds Blueberries Apples (lots) Baked potato Wholewheat bulgar Turkey breast Green beans Wholewheat crisps rolls (fave snack) Quark Skimmed milk
I stuck to the above about 99% of the time, I never added spices as I was a savoury spice fiend, no herbs as I don't like them much, no sauces or added salt. Usually I ate 3 meals a day, occasionally seconds, when I did have blips I just rode them out and went back on the plan. The biggest killer for me was white bread, I don't like the bread all that much but found it didn't spark my cravings.
Edit: just drank tea with a dash of milk
Also while I didn't calorie count I did for an example eat what I ate in a day before hand and roughly weighed it up against what I was eating now and before my weight loss I was easily doing 4000 calories a day
