I am looking for a good diet to lose weight.

I suggest a light Mediterranean diet, with plenty of low or no fat added fresh veggies and fruit (or frozen, if needed), whole grains/pulses, lean proteins, and only small amounts of full fat dairy (or preferably low fat). No refined foods or sugars. Low or no more than moderate salt. Portion control. Healthy oils or fats rather than butter/lard/margarine. Well-balanced. Good natural flavors so the food is delicious and satisfying. Mindful eating (slow eating, concentrating on textures, flavors, smells).
