What Foods Can I Cut Out to Lose Weight?

I am looking to trim down but maybe 5-6 pounds.

If I cut out sugar, will that help? I drink alot of tea and don't like it without sweetness - should I try sweeteners?

I would like ideas for breakfast, snacks and packed lunches that are healthy and good for losing weight.

I don't eat any fast foods.

I don't often drink fizzy drinks but I sometimes crave Cocal Cola. Do the Diet and Zero fizzy drinks actually work? Are they really lower fat?

Is soya milk more fattening than cow's milk?

What kinds of foods should I be cutting out of my diet? Bread, potatoes, cheese...??

Cut out white breads, fried foods, oily foods, and anything very unhealthy. Don't eat trans fats, and allow yourself one small fun food a day (like a 100 calorie icecream bar).

The best foods for weight loss are lean proteins (fish, chicken breasts, sliced turkey), and whole grains. These are filling and keep you satisfied for hours!
A good breakfast is a small bowl (3/4cup) of whole grain cereal (less than 6g sugar) with lowfat or nonfat milk on it. Or you could have an eggwhite omlet (good protein).
A great lunch is a salad with some chicken on it. Make sure your dressing is lowfat and not high calorie, and only put 2 tablespoons on it. A sandwich with whole grain bread is good too.
Dinners that are good would be anything with lean meat and some brown rice (very filling!). Or whole grain pasta made with tomatoes, olive oil, spinach, and broccoli. Just choose filling foods. Lots of vegetables, and keep your calorie count in check.
You need between 1,200 and 1,500 to lose weight.
Good luck! :)
