Well, you need to eat carbs, because carbs give you energy everday and when exercise your body uses carbs as energy, like a cars use gasoline. Try to only eat chicken breast, and steak but only 8 oz of steak too much is bad. And drink a lot of water. Eat veggies like spinach, brussels sprouts, broccoli.
And fruit like, apples, oranges. and you need protein to loose weight, like egg whites
Eat foods like that and you will loose weight.
for the carbs, eat only brown carbs not white, like wheat breat whole wheat oatmeal.
Eat foods like that

Hi Mizzdeama! Good for you for looking to expand your health knowledge.
Will you lose weight? Almost certainly. A diet of strictly water and green vegetables is extremely low in calories. It's understandable to want to lose weight rapidly, most of us do, but you'll receive the best results with a healthier diet. I would not recommend losing weight by a diet consisting of just water and greens.
You will lose "weight". With this type of diet, a low percentage of that weight will be fat. Meaning you will be losing a lot of lean muscle tissue. This is not desireable because lean muscle tissue helps burn fat as well as provides a hard toned look when fat is burned off. Plus, lean muscle tissue is HARD to gain.
You would most likely lose weight with this diet, but it would be the wrong type of weight. Plus, you'd be starving yourself of needed nutrients by eliminating protein and carbohydrate sources.
If you try this diet, don't be surprised if you lose weight initially but end up worse off down the road.
Some quick tips:
Do your cardio first thing upon waking on an empty stomach.
Eat small meals about every 3 hours. Portion sizes should be such that you are ready to eat again about every 3 hours. This will keep certain hormones balanced throughout the day to aid in fat loss and fat prevention.
Meals should be balanced. Meaning: if your meal/snack calorie breakdown is about 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat, then the rest of your meals should consist of the same breakdown. An EXCEPTION is any meal/snack within a few hours of bedtime. This meal/snack should be strictly protein, no carbs and no fats.
Minimize your sugar and saturated fat intake.
Include Resistance Training 3 times a week. The benefits of resistance training are extremely numerous! Fat loss is included.
To ensure the most efficient and the safest results, utilize a Personal Trainer (or Online Personal Trainer) well educated in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition.
