Well it’s not a food, but one of the biggest problems:
Soda.
Stay away from it.
Also don’t consume a lot of starch. Breads, pastas, and corn. Unless the bread and pasta are wheat.
That’s just besides the obvious candy and junk food.

Not really a list but foods that are starchy, like bread and pasta. Meat is good and Fruits and Veggies are good for maintain weight, it also helps to for weight loss to eat before 7pm and a good work out always helps.
I think mostly junk food or deep fried food.
that’s what i think
chocolate cakes crisps saturated fat, and eat a healthy balanced diet. Missing certian foods out the body needs can be very dangerous too your health and shorten your life.
bread
pasta
any candy
any ice cream
chocolate
pop (even diet)
chips
smoothies
guacomole
salsa
pizza
mac and cheese
grilled cheese
steak
sandwhiches
bagles
toast
pop corn (that is not hot aire poped)
etc
i could go on and on just stay away from junk food and grains and too high in carbohydrates and of course you can splurge just make sure to make it a small portion.
A big one beleive it or not is soda and im 14 and i use to drink a lot of mt. dew and stuff but soda has no nutrinial value at all. Also stay away from like candy and replace it with somehealthy food. But You cant lose weight by just eating right you have to have exercise too
*Soda
*Candy
*Fast foods
chips
fastfood
cookies
candy (expecially chocalate)
fried foods ex. chicken, if you can bake it thats healthier
tortillas
cheese
mainly fastfood and junk
drink water or juice instead of sugar
try to run a lil or do some exercise
dance if you dont like to run
Full fat milk, Cream, Cheese, Chips, Pizzas, Mayonnaise, Butter, Pesto, Battered meats, Fried things, White bread, Pot noodles, Ready meals, Chocolate, Sweets ect:) Things with high fat and calorie content
Things you should go for: Vegetables, Fruits, Quorn, Semi skimmed/ Soy milk, Soup, Potatoes, Low fat cheese spread, Greek strained yogurt, Low fat crisps, Cereals such as bran flakes, egg whites, water, green tea ect:)
Try to keep away from sugar,this is one of the main ingredients which will help you loose weight if you steer clear of it.
It will be hard but i had to and what i did i started eating fruit instead and had the odd small treat,because the worst thing you can do is cut it out completely as you will crave it.
Sugary foods such as sodas, candy, cakes, pies.
Starchy foods such as breads, rice, pasta, pizza.
Hydrogenated oil such as margarine.
Artificial sweeteners such as Splenda, NutraSweet.
Here’s some suggestions for things to avoid:
Soda (especially the non-diet versions)
Iced tea (contains sugar)
Hamburger/Cheeseburger
Cheese (in excess)
Cakes
Chocolate
Ice cream
Pastries
Chips and fries
Deep-fried foods (e.g. KFC, fish and chips)
Chinese food (high sugar content)
White bread/white rice/white pasta
Basically anything that’s high in simple sugars or saturated fat. This should apply whether you’re dieting or not. Also check the salt content carefully – and beware that many manufacturers list the sodium content rather than salt. To get the true salt count, multiply this by 2.5 – so 0.6grams of sodium is actually 1.5grams. Your daily limit is 5grams.
Try drinking water in place of soda.
Go for:
Fruit
Vegetables
Lean protein
Complex carbs (wholewheat bread, rice, pasta)
etc..
Good luck.
just b sensible.
cut out all the rubbish. at ure age u should not need to cut out carbs. just minimse the creamy sauces, biscuits,sweets etc. school hols? have a walk for at leadt 30 mins a day.. u must b sensible though, your young body is still growing and if u follow this advive u will slim down soon.. u HAVE to EAT to LOSE weight!!
good luck
Junk food, carbs like bread, potatoes consume them in moderate amounts
Drink lots of water. Eat more veggies and fruits. As far as possible do not consume too much carbs in the night as all the unused energy will be stored in your body while you sleep.
Don’t starve yourself and get plenty of grains in the morning. You need your energy.
carbs. no sugar,flour,etc.
