Can you lose weight eliminating sweets and fried foods?

Fried foods contain a lot of saturated fats, and also a lot of calories most of the time.

If you are substituting those high calorie high fat foods with more healthful options, like grilled, boiled, or baked foods (Chicken tenders versus a chicken breast) you may see a small amount of weight loss.

Weight loss happens when the amount of calories you eat is less than the amount of calories you burn per day.
