if you stick to a natural foods diet and eat within moderation and controlled portions then you will shed the weight off you over time! natural foods can be anything that fell off a tree or grew out of the ground. also natural proteins too like chicken breast, pork, red meat all within moderation is perfectly fine. try to stay away from processed foods as much as you can, such as chips, crackers, white bread, pasta, mcdonalds, there are a few exceptions of processed foods like wheat bread. but basically just eat everything as fresh as you can, lay low on the sauces like ketchup and mustard, avoid them altogether if you can but if you can't then again, within moderation.

Look at the all protein diets... not so much a diet as a lifestyle. Sticking to mostly proteins helps the body burn carbs and fat for energy thus forcing you to lose weight. Be careful though because your body needs carbs on days that you workout more than others.

fruits
vegetables
fiber rich foods.

start cooking beans with lighter cuts of meat like poultry.
brown, black and wild rice instead of white
when you do use cooking oil, use olive oil not vegetable oil

To be honest it all depends on your metabolism, and genes, but stay off high proteins foods, sugars, sweets and even salty foods. Eat lots of vegetables, drink plenty of water it makes you fully quickly. You can still eat meat just don't eat like red meats a lot.

Processed sugar foods (aka bad carbs) is a killer to losing weight. Focus on good carbs (veggies, fruits, brown rice, wheat bread, etc.)
