I lost 10 lbs. in one week by eating a salads as much as I wanted with fat free dressing and a small dinner. I worked out for an hour each day and drank only water.

First, if you want to lose weight, the answer isn't in radical diet changes, it's in removing single items that have detrimental effects.
Some things to think about not eating to begin with and why:
-McDonalds or fast food in general - High fat, low quality proteins
-Soda - Sugars, especially High-fructose corn syrup should be avoided, but regular soda is still healthier than diet.
-Diet soda - artificial sweeteners, basically trick your body into a metabolic action that it should not be performing, likely to make you actually gain weight.
-Coffee - Kills beneficial bacteria in your gut preventing good proteins and carbohydrates from being absorbed properly.
Do NOT even attempt to do an atkins diet or similar nutjob diet plan. These can do a lot of damage to your body that you will be stuck with for a long time.
Other suggestions that you might try:
-Go vegetarian - most americans will fear this lifestyle, but if you remove meat and replace it will a complete vegetable protein you will be removing detrimental particulate matter that comes with meat from your diet. Particulate matter includes but is not limited to: General carcinogens, trace pest and herbicides, hormones, etc.
-Take a tapered off approach, remove one item per month from what you normally eat until you have reached a meal plan that you're comfortable with and keeps you healthy.

Slimfast for me, but everyones different. There is no one specific diet that is the "best". What works for some doesnt for others.

Put on your plate half the amount of food you really want and then eat only half of that...
