To lose weight it is a great idea to eat negative calorie foods such as veggetables and fruits. This would let you eat alot of the foods needed and help you not feel too guilty when you do have cofee cake with your non fat latte.
Also, protein. Beans, lean meats such as pork turkey breast chicke. Cook at home and take left overs to work. Weight watchers is a great way to keep you on track. Water is great, but that is hard for me. I dont like water much so I crystal light my water and keep in mind that fruits and veggie are pletiful in the water department.
Working out should be fun and enjoyable so i mix it up when possible. I walk my dog and jump rope do weights ride my bike or the stationary one and find it easier when i listen to my favorite music or audio book. (sigh) I have to trick myself into staying in shape.
OH, hot drinks make you feel full. Try a relaxing tea before bed or whenever it is too late to eat something hearty. And always remember your body needs fuel to stay strong so do not not eat, that would work until your body fails
