There are several questions to be answered before decent advice can be given. Unless you want half assed opinions and everybody telling you what works best in their personal situations. None of that information is even remotely useful TO YOU AND YOUR WIFE.
Are you young? Older? Severely overweight? Just need to lose a few pounds? health issues (blood pressure, diabetes, cholesteral)? weight issues since childhood? Depending on the answers from above, the advice can range from portion control + exercise to more serious or drastic diets/measures recommended.
I can only tell you what works for me or people with similar circumstances or what I have personally seen and experienced, but not knowing you and your wife's situation other than "wanting to go on a diet" I have no clue what to suggest.
But in general terms, the American diet contains way too much processed sugars and carbs. Cutting out a lot of processed carbs and sugars (white bread, chips, pasta, sugar, sodas etc) is never bad advise.
