I was wondering how should I begin to diet? I need to lose at least 40 pounds and will try my best to exercise.
A diet? No. Diets tend to be short term and, if you are lucky, will work short term. A lifestyle change, however, requires much more dedication and persistence, but it is the best way to make permanent changes and keep the results. Exercise is only one aspect of that, as I’m sure you know. If you are able (religion, personal beliefs, and everything allowing) I’d recommend a version of keto. It’s what my dietician has me on, and I’ve lost 120 lbs in 2 years.

I was keto for about 3 years but became vegan for 8 months. It’s really funny eating high protein like beef and chicken to only eating plant based foods.

One of my children is a vegetarian. I don’t know much about things you can change to improve your lifestyle and lose that extra weight you want to get rid of given your specific dietary requirements. I’m sorry I don’t have any other suggestions.

It’s okay, maybe I will give up carbs like rice and toast, I’m not vegan right now.

The Mediterranean Diet is supposed to be good along with at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. Don’t take my advice though. I need lose weight as well.

It’s a shame it’s referred to as a diet since it’s a long term way of eating that is good for both losing and maintaining.

Yeah, I always hear it referred to a diet but you’re right; I’ve read several places that its a lifestyle, including social aspects, moving and appreciating simple things.

I would consider dieting that is still a sufficient fuel but also reduced calorie, or less processed.
