LESS!
There is no magically food, it's all about CICO.

True, CICO is the real answer. That said, I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables so I can get more volume for less calories. With meat and bread, I eat whatever I like but use my food scale and exercise portion control.

Less is correct BUT I personally find fiber pus foods to be quite filling. I made black beans in the slow cooker, and for 200kcal I get a TON!

Meats too help. 150kcal of grilled chicken helps make a satisfying salad.

I'm also a fan of substitutes because I like eating quantity. Spiralized zucchini cooked with 0kcal Pam and smothered with clam sauce? I can eat BOWLS and never hit 400kcal.

Good luck!

This week I lost weight after having eaten pizza, ice cream and fried chicken with french fries from Popeye's as well as finishing my week off with a Margarita.

It's not so much what you eat as how much. Really it's true. Get a food scale and track everything. Stick to the goals MFP sets for you and the weight will come off.

Thank you very much for your comment

Food you like and eating at a moderate calorie deficit. That's all you need for weight loss.

For health, satiety, energy and overall wellbeing, eat a varied diet containing food from all food groups every day: Grains, potatoes; meat, fish, eggs; dairy; nuts; vegetables; fruit; butter and oil.
