2) eat less processed foods (eat complex carbs instead like whole grain bread, oatmeal)
3) Drink/eat no sugar! Unless after a workout. Hell even on my cardio days I have a cup of chocolate milk. And I'm dropping weight like crazy again.

Also +1 for the mediterenean diet. When I'm older and don't care about my looks I'll live to 200 eating feta lamb and olive oil

Essentially right now, all I'm eating is lamb chops, chicken breasts, oatmeal, and a pita wrap with some meat and tzatiki with greek yoghurt.
Basically in that diet, you are moderating sugar intake, decreasing carb intake, increasing protein intake, and pretty much disregarding fat intake (because with all the other adjustments, this takes care of itself). Sounds like a good plan to me, and I'm not surprised that you lost a lot of weight with it.
