Good foods.
What are some foods I can eat every day to lose weight?
Also, what are some foods I should stay clear of? I know the basics, like, chips, chocolate, candy, etc.
What I mean is, what kind of main meals should I eat that would help me lose a lot of weight?
I would like a flat stomach, no need for abs.
My stomach looks something like this:

Except it is quite smaller than the one in the picture. My most trouble spot is the area right under the belly button and above the vaginal area.
Thank you so much in advanced.

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Oranges (or other citrus fruits), Brown Rice, Black Beans, and Celery can help reduce excess water weight or even help you burn fat more efficiently. I read an article recently claiming that these foods would help women slim down in the tummy area. I'm not a nutritionist, so I cannot vouch for the scientific evidence that it actually works, but when I incorporate these foods into my diet it really seems to help.
If you're smaller than the girl in that picture, you probably do not have a whole lot of weight to lose. Still, you should try to lose it slowly because it will be much easier to keep it off permanently if you lose just 1 or 2 pounds a week.
Avoid salt, simply because it makes you retain water. Stay away from butter or creamy sauces or dressings, because they are loaded with saturated fat. Instead of white breads, pastas, tortillas, etc, choose 100% whole wheat options instead. When planning meals, portion them correctly. It's a good rule of thumb that 3/4 of your plate be vegetables and whole grains, while the other 1/4 is lean protein. Here is a good guide with examples of how big serving sizes are:

Remember to drink at least 8 eight ounce servings of water per day if you don't already. Water is not only essential to good health, but it's a very important factor in the weight loss equation.
My advice is just to get acquainted with the basic principles of nutrition. There are so many people out there who disagree on what you should and shouldn't eat. If you want to read differing opinions from different "experts" some good sites are www.livestrong.com or www.sparkpeople.com ... you can find articles about foods under the nutrition sections.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

frist of all to loose weight you gotta ecxcersize to.. id recommend jus doing like 20 crunches(mini sit ups basicly) a day or less if u feel thats what you feel you need.
as well as diet
-um rice is very good =D but fried rice = BADDD
-drink alot of water before you do anything tho it flushes out your body and makes you feel great before you start.
-some people say if you have healthy cereals for diner for example insted of a meal like a cottage pie, even though that is healthy as well as having cereals for breakfast that weill help you loose weight (and drop a jean size to aparently)
-do stay away from ice cream hehe
-oh and fresh fruit is ten time better than tinned fruit
-homemade meals are also healhier than ready meals.
hmm but more about main meals now:
-like i said with the cereals
-try to incorperate lots of fruit and veg into your meals for example cottage pie is a great choice, you usually have potato, onions, carrots, sweetcorn. spagetti bollineasie also let you expiriment for example celery (takes yummy in spag bol!)
-soups, can be homemade or tinned and still taste yummy and be healthy
-sauces brown sauce is better than ketchup! personallyi cant stand brown sauce but hey least im honest right?
-pasta meals
good luck =D
