No: There is no food that will help someone lose weight. In order to lose weight a person needs to take in fewer calories and expend more calories, that is, eat less and get more physical activity. A proven way to lose weight is to cut down on portion sizes and empty calories like sodas and walk more. Walking 30-60 minutes a day 5 days a week is recommended. Work up to it gradually but stick with it.
