Fiber. Great sources of fiber: veggies, fruits and beans.
Raw vegetables.
Berries.
Nuts. A serving is a quarter-cup. Pistachios, raw almonds or cashews, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, pecans, you name it. They're packed with good fat and protein, but don't overdo it. Consider scattering them on a salad and you can take care of two items (nuts and raw veggies) in one.
Protein at every meal. Make it fish at least twice a week, preferably more. Fried (anything) does not count.
Don't Eat:
Pasta.
Most bread. Unless it is honest-to-God, certified, authenticated whole-grain bread
Commercial cereals. This includes anything in a cute box with the word "crunchy" on it. Read the ingredients. If you find more than five grams of sugar, put it down.
Sodas, even diet sodas.
Packaged cookies, cakes, pies, crackers and desserts.
Try it. Maybe nothing will come of it. Maybe you'll finally start to lose weight.
