How can I create a healthy diet to lose weight?

I want to lose about ten-twenty pounds and in order to do that, I want to eat extremely well, eliminating foods from my diet. However, I’m sort of an idiot when it comes to healthy eating.
What foods can I eliminate from my diet to make me live better? Should I cut bread/ butter/ grain? I don’t know. I want to do a radical but temporary diet in the beginning.
I’m also a vegetarian.

Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

One of the healthiest weight loss diets is the DASH diet.

The healthy DASH diet can help you lose weight safely and effectively, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

You can see further details in a web search for "dash diet" + "lose weight".

    That’s right, no bread, no fried food either. If you do fry food use olive oil. It’s the healthiest.

    maybe you can kick your vegetarian diet up a notch and eat a raw vegan diet for a while. I know plenty of people who reach their desired weight by eating a simple diet of raw fruit and veggies, minimal amounts of raw nuts and seeds, seaweeds, etc….
