Variety, balance and moderation.  These are the keys to a successful weight-loss diet.  By selecting a variety of low calorie and nutritious foods in the appropriate amounts you can make every calorie worthwhile.
You can still eat some of your favorite foods.  The items you eat while losing weight should still be the kind of foods you will enjoy eating after you have reached your weight loss goal.  And they should be foods that will fit into your lifestyle as well.  If a  diet does not fit your likes and needs, you probably will not stick with it. 
Tip:  Be sure to include plenty of water and fiber ( from foods such as fresh fruit) in your weight loss plan.  Water is necessary for normal body functioning and fiber aids digestion.
