Foods/supplements: Count calories. Aim for 1200 calories a day minimum. Do not starve yourself. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, tobacco. Drink 80 oz of water daily. Take a multivitamin and extra vitamin C and fish oil daily. Avoid fast food and processed foods.

Remember : For weight loss the strongest predictor is your caloric intake. So you need to be mindful of how much you are eating. I would encourage you to minimize processed, artificial foods and consume colorful veggies. In the end, there's no perfect "diet" as some people's bodies respond well to Mediterranean while others the Atkins while others the Paleo. There's no perfect way to tell.
