A member asked:

Can there be any 1 kind of food i can eat to lose weight asap?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Protein: Protein. You should eat 1 gram for every pound of ideal body weight. For instance, if your ideal body weight should be 180 pounds, then you should eat 180 grams of protein a day...As long as you don't have any kidney disease. Protein is found in meat, dairy, eggs, legumes and protein supplements.
