Brief Answer:
Choose a protein rich diet.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
If you want to loose weight is not only calories restrictions which matter but you should keep attention to the food you choose to eat.
You should choose food rich in proteins such chicken breast, eggs, lean meat, turkey meat etc.
Also you may choose fresh fruits and vegetables especially green leaves, lettuces, broccoli, cabbages etc.
You may choose olive oil instead of butter.
Restrict carbohydrate intake, white wheat, refined sugars. You can use sweeteners such stevia leaves.
Also increase the physical activity doing at least an hour per day every day.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
