Eat at a deficit and you will loose weight. End of story.

Switching to a low carb diet can help if you're prone to sugar cravings, because of the affect it has on insulin production. I'm talking 30g-ish of carb a day, so not ketosis.

Generally speaking you're better off eating food that is less refined and processed, but it's complicated. For example brown bread actually has a higher GI than white bread.

My wife and daughter both have gluten sensitivity and lost weight when they stopped eating gluten. Not really sure what that was all about though because if anything their appetites increased since they no longer suffered from cramping and bowel distress.
