Eating less than you consume (regardless of content) will help you lose weight. But you want to choose foods that will meet your macro/micro nutrient profile that keeps you essentially healthy and stay within the calorie restriction you need to lose weight.

One food isn't going to help you lose 20lbs, tons of interesting healthy foods...my current obsession is spaghetti squash...but by no means is eating spaghetti squash going to make you lose weight.0

I've lost over 40lbs and I eat anything I want, so long as it is in my calorie goals. I eat ice cream almost daily.0

Make small habit changes in your diet. Replace soda with water, or breakfast with 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Just make one change to your daily eating routine, and your body will reflect the positive habit within two weeks or so. Then after you see what happens with the first change, change something else.0

There's no such thing as a "good food" to help you lose 20 pounds. That being said, I have a few staples that have helped me because I love them and ate them a lot instead of others. It's different for everyone though. For me: cottage cheese with berries, red leaf lettuce and red cabbage as a salad base, and ground turkey. Just find your things.0

Eat a lot of escolar.
The best part is that it's an amazingly delicious slice of fish.0 -
I've lost 164lb eating pretty much what I want, when I want.... I ensure it fits into my calorie allowance every day and exercise daily to ensure I can have some extra calories (if they're needed) so I never go hungry.

As others have mentioned, there is no miracle food. It's all about caloric deficit. There is nothing else to it.
With enough dedication, you can gain weight by eating nothing but salads and you can lose 27 pounds by eating nothing but Twinkies:

But if I had to choose one "miracle food" that will help you lose weight better than any other it's:
Water
Don't drink anything else, there is no point in drinking your calories and all those diet sodas will keep conditioning your body to crave "sweet" and you'll end up eating more sugar and carbs than you otherwise would.0 -
Everyone's said it, but yeah, whatever you want as long as you hit your calorie goals. I try to make sure I budget my day around a few low-cal, nutritionally dense meals of lean proteins, whole grains and fresh veg, and once I have those numbers locked in, everything else is fair game. Oh, what's this? I have 400 calories left over and the cute girl in processing baked sugar cookies? Let's do this!
It's a glorious way to live. The number of "but I thought you were on a diet!!" comments I get, jesus.0 -
Raw meat shakes have helped thousands lose weight, maybe try that.0
-
I hear ipecac works well for extreme weight loss plans.
But seriously, yeah what everyone else said that suggested reasonable ideas.0 -
Interesting?
What??0 -
ex-lax, choclate ones
not really - NOBODY DO THIS.

I agree with most of the posters above. I think it's about finding foods that you love, never get tired of, and that fill you up. I love squash, zuccs, eggplant, and spinach. I can eat big quantities when I'm super hungry without worrying too much about calories. I find new ways to cook them and with different combinations of spices. But I also allow myself to eat things like jalapeno cheese, popcorn, pretzels, and ice cream. Being able to develop new habits while continuing to enjoy some past ones is what I think has helped me to feel like this whole thing is doable.0

Make smarter choices, don't starve yourself, eat 6 small meals a day to up your metabolism, take walks.. be active and think about what you are eating before you put it in your body. That simple. Sure, that burger is going to taste amazing.. but are you really going to want to feel the guilt after? We all do these things you just need to be smarter about what you are eating.

negative ghostrider…
meal timing and metabolism have zero correlation.
I eat burgers regularly and have no problem fitting them into my macros and calorie count for the day ..
if you can eat a burger and maintain your deficit and macro goals, go for it...0 -
