A member asked:

Here doctors have said not to eat fruits to lose weight. what are we exactly supposed to eat to lose weight and also to maintain it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight loss: A healthy well balanced diet including both fruits, vegetables, protein (meat, dairy products, beans etc), fiber and water are important. You need to reduce portion size as well as increase your exercise. If you are still unsure what to eat seeing a nutritionist maybe helpful.
