if you are trying to lose weight refined sugars, cereals, and flour are your enemy. meat sources that isn't hormone and natural is your enemy too..
also artificial sweeteners do spike insulin sorry. that means diet soda is a no no
what you eat matters, also how often you eat. snacking is a big problem, how often do you go to your fridge, freezer or pantry and pull something out to snack on? eat 2-3 healthy modest meals a day with no snacking in between.
