Don't have to eat especially healthy foods. Just don't eat too much relative to your activity level. As noted above, avoiding pop or other sugary drinks is also a good way to keep away from useless calories. Maintaining a decent activity level probably helps some as well. Sitting on the computer playing video games 50 hours a week won't typically promote weight loss unless you're so addicted that you forget to eat, too. Heck it's summer. I haven't even played a video game since about June.
I suspect the most important factor in staying slim is the very desire to stay slim: Once a person accepts being overweight, he'll probably stay that way.
