A member asked:

Can you please guide me on foods that will help speed up my weight loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Less: There are no "magic" foods that speed up weight loss. Don't believe what you read on the internet or see on tv. The only way is to eat fewer calories than you burn off. It's 3500 calories to either gain or lose a pound. Talk with your dietitian.
