Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
It low low low fat foods. Like foods that their daily perenct is very low. The lower amount of fat the lower calories. If you are not putting in extra fat you can burn more fat. My dad did this and lost like 30 pounds in a month. I am doing this. Just watch what you eat. Oh and my dad didn't exercise at all. So add some excersise and you could lose more. But be careful and remember not everything works for everyone. Best of luck to you.

It's not really healthy food that make you loose weight it's less calories. But healthy food makes you more healthy. Food with a low amount of calories are fruits and vegetables, popsicles, pickles, whipped cream, 100 calorie packs, and soft serve ice cream. You should also try to excersise more to burn more calories. Jumproping really helps.

Those were some of the most dubious answers I have seen. Beware diets that offer quick fixes. Anything more than a couple of pounds a week is happily digesting your muscles and/or dehydrating you.
There is no need to go on any diet where you focus on a specific set of foods, or where you neglect a food group (e.g. carbs). These do not work better than a properly balanced nutrition plan. Also they are sometimes bad for you and dont offer a viable long term solution (meaning you often put the weight back on).
First of all you need to estimate how many calories you burn, both on a workout day and on a rest day (if you work out). Here is a link:

The calories you burn consist of your BMR + all activities. This is only an approximation, so you will have to feel your way through it.
Anyhow, once you have calculated how much you use, create a 400-500 calorie deficit every day.
Now, as far as meals are concerned, it is very important to eat often. Plan out 4-6 balanced meals every day, evenly spaced out (I will explain "balanced" below). Divide the amount you eat between these meals, eating a bit more before periods of increased activity and a bit less before periods of low activity. Always eat for what you are about to do, never for what you have just done.
Drink plenty of water, this helps your metabolism, makes you feel fuller and is generally healthy.
Now onto what you should be eating. A meal being balanced means that it contains all the major nutrients (carbs, protein and fat). What you should consider is cutting back on saturated fat. These are generally found in things like butter, fatty meats, cheap oils, etc. Unsaturated fats are found in things like nuts, olive oil, canola, fish etc. Read the labels of all the foods you eat.
So, when you have your calories calculated, allow yourself at most 20- 30% of these cals to come from fat in general. E.g. if you eat 2000 cals in a day, that means (at 30%) 600 cals can come from fat. There are 9 cals to a gram of fat... so no more than 66 grams of fat. Of these less than half should be from saturated fats, in fact a third is even better.
The rest of your calories you can divide more or less evenly between carbs and protein, perhaps emphasising the protein a bit more (there are 4 calories to a gram of either).
Needless to say, avoid junk foods, sugar (as in the stuff found in soda, cakes etc), excess salt etc. Eat high on greens, they help fill you up and are a good source of vitamins. Check out the food pyramid in the previous answers for more specific ideas on what to eat.
For more specific recipes and ideas here is a link to a bodybuilder forum where they share recipes on healthier food (this stuff is generally low of saturated fats and high on protein):

One final note. Dont push too hard, you will ruin your own efforts. Starvation type diets affect your metabolism in a negative way, making weight loss much harder (eating often is key here, I cant stress it enough). Learn the meaning of proper nutrition, and the weight will come off steadily. You will also be healthier overall. Good luck.

To eat healthier is very simple. Eat a good breakfast, like pancakes or cereal or waffles every morning. Don't have a lot of waffles or cereal because that isn't eating healthy. For lunch, if you go to school, ( i don't know how old you are) pack your lunch. Pack a sandwhich, maybe a cookie for a treat, and an apple or yogurt. For dinner eat whatever your family is eating but do not get seconds.

eat protein (nuts, cheese, meats, etc.) because it will keep you full longer. you need carbs, but limit yourself & dont go crazy because they don't keep you full. if you have carbs for lunch or something, make sure that there's protein to go along with it. watch your calories. it may help to write stuff down because it'll keep you honest. set goals that you can actually reach, and reward yourself with something non-food when you reach each little one. for example, say that you wanna loose 3 pounds by the end of this week. if you do it, buy yourself a cute outfit or shirt or something. exersize is also important - try to get at least 60 minutes a day. but you can make it fun by doing it w/ a friend or whatever! this will all help you loose weight - but you have to be motivated =] the hardest part is starting. so good luck! <3
