Get rid of all your alcohol. Bagels and Pitas actually can help. You should get rid of all fried foods (well, it's okay if you eat something like fried chicken maybe once a month). Low carb and low-cal diets actually don't really help you lose weight. Personally, you should eat as much veggies as you can, and have a disciplined exercise option. Grains are good when you get to the point where you're exercising a lot.
