Here is some information I read in another forum. Maybe it will be helpful to you. 
Hi everybody. Since this is what I do for a living, maybe I could be of some help. There are many factors that could be involved when it comes to weight gain (food allergies, leaky gut, parasites, improper food combining, etc).
For beginners, this is one of the handout sheets that I give to my clients that are interested in weight loss. Remember, there could be many factors but this is a good place to start.
Avoid white flour, white rice, processed foods, junk food, sugar, sweets, soft drinks, artificial sweeteners, processed meats, table salt.
Consume more fresh (organic if possible) fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, brown rice, cold-water fish (such as salmon), soy, nuts and seeds (in small amounts), filtered water, fresh fruit and vegetable juices.
Use only extra virgin olive oil for cooking and stay away from hydrogenated or partly-hydrogenated oils in any form (e.g. margarine); use fatty foods such as avocados, olives, and nuts and seeds in moderation.
Limit your intake of alcohol and caffeine.
Never skip breakfast.
Eat small meals throughout the day.
Make lunch, not dinner, your main meal of the day.
Chew your food at least 30 times before swallowing.
Get regular exercise, such as running, swimming or walking. Increase your flexibility through Yoga or stretching exercises. Do strength training at least a couple times a week.
Do not go grocery shopping when hungry and do not keep unhealthy food in the house.
Don???t give into your cravings immediately. Cravings are like waves, they tend to peak and then subside. If you can keep busy for a little while the craving will usually pass on its own.
The easiest thing to remember for those of you who don't want a complicated program to follow is DON'T EAT ANYTHING WHITE!
Supplements that may help with weight loss:
Chromium Picolinate
Ginko
Fiber ??? keeps colon clean ??? will help diminish appetite if taken before meals
Omega 3 (flaxseed oil caps)
CoQ10 (energy production)
Ginseng
Vitamin C (speeds up metabolism)
Lecithin (breaks down fat)
Calcium (activates Lipase)
B vitamin complex (burns calories, lessens sugar cravings)
L-Carnitine (breaks down fat deposits)
I hope you find this useful.
