if you're asking about low cal foods, i go crazy over celery. by no means does a couple stalks replace a meal, but for that mid day snack it always keeps me from eating junk out of boredom. the thing about weight loss is that there are no magic foods or anything that will take care of it for you. you'll gain back most of the weight lost from diet pills, and anything else (if not a scam) really just helps rev your metabolism at best. the only way (sans surgery) to drop pounds is by holding a caloric intake that is lower than your outtake. I suggest you figure out how many cals you're burning while at rest so you can have an idea of just what your body is doing over most of the average day, add to that cals burned during physical activity (maybe log using an app, i use myfitnesspal and love it). I would also suggest a tracker; I use a fitbit flex and don't regret a single penny spent on it. you could totally just count on your own though. once you figure out how many cals you're burning over the day, you can subtract from that however many it'll take for you to reach your goal in a certain time frame (ex. if you want to lose 1lb per week you'll need a caloric deficit of about 500 cals daily). now you can't allow your intake to drop too low, 1200 is generally a baseline minimum as it is. I know it seems like the less you eat the quicker you'll be done, i unfortunately spent about 6 months chasing a daily net intake of 400 max calories and it was NOT GOOD don't do it. when you're not eating enough your body goes into starvation mode and essentially begins to shut down. you do not want this, you need your metabolism (and everything else) in tip top shape!! i know this didn't really answer your question and i'm sorry but i know how difficult this can feel, i understand the struggle, and I just don't want people to make the same mistakes i did
Different body types react different to certain foods.
Ok first of all my opinion is not the end all be all but I am pretty smart when it comes to dieting and fitness, and I have to say. If your caloric maintainence is only 1200 then you do NOT need to be dieting. My thoughts are, you should get a more professional opinion on what your maintainence is because eating under 1200 calories a day is unhealthy, period. If that is the correct number then you are either really small or have an extremely low metabolism. Either way, you need to consume no less than 1500 calories a day, and let cardio and other activitiies do the rest of the work. Feel free to message me if you need more info.
There is an old saying, 'eat food, not a lot, mostly vegetables'. Stay away from carbs, ie bread, potatoes, pasta... Focus on veggies, fish, some read meat. And you need to be active, get on the bike, walk for an hour, lift weights for 30 minutes, do some cardio. This isn't hard. I ride my bike every day, and can't gain weight. Genetics are a factor obviously, but your behavior can counter that.

Meats that are moderate to low in fat
LOTS OF WATER
if u eat grains, eat whole grains (Brown rice, whole wheat pasta, potatoes w/ skin on)
use fats (butter, sour cream, oils) sparingly
Eliminate almost all junk food (non-premium ice cream is OK in moderation; low in cals and has nutrients )
Eliminate ALL empty calories (if it doesn't have a nutritional use, don't consume it).

For your calorie intake use this calculator from the Baylor College of Medicine that my nutritionist gave me:
It is also gonna depend on the calories burnt during the exercising so keep that in mind. One easy recommendation is to try something like a calorie tracker (myfitnesspal) has one and to take it day by day. Find foods rich in micronutrients while tracking your calories.
Vegetables
but actually anything, so long as the portion size is a lower percentage of normal
Just eat lean meats and fruits. Things like tuna, lean chicken, grapes, apples, bananas, almonds.
Use the app myfitnesspal to track calories and exercise. Using it I've lost 14kgs.
