As you probably know, "bad" fats are the main culprits causing excess weight; eat "good fats" that provide essential fatty acids. Great sources of the fats you need and are good for you are sardines, salmon, herrings and mackerel. These prevent blood clotting and lower risk of heart failure, help regulate blood pressure.
Eat fibre rich products. Foods rich in fibre make you feel full fast and don't have many calories. One more positive thing is that fibre doesn't get digested by the body. While fibre is passing through the body, it "collects" some fats and proteins which are taken out of the body without being digested. Good sources of fibre are: figs, brown rice, nuts, bran, beans, strawberries, broccoli and apples.
