The "special diet" you are referring to would be determined best by a Registered Dietitian (R.D.), as this professional can determine your individual caloric needs based on your age, height, weight, activity level and any medical conditions you have.
Otherwise, a weight-loss diet would consist of eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, lean meats, skim or low-fat dairy, whole wheat grains, and trace amount of fat. This is the ideal diet for everyone, but is difficult for many of us to follow. If this is difficult for you, speak with an R.D. or join a local weight loss group (Weight Watchers is my personal favorite), or join a gym and meet with a personal trainer who can get you in touch with other women trying to lose weight.
Did your doctor provide you with any recommendations on weight loss, besides using medication? S/he should provide some resources for you to follow-up on, so that you can incorporate a healthy lifestyle in addition to using medication.
