i'm going to suggest http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ and http://www.reddit.com/r/Paleo/, the way the majority of Redditors are successfully losing weight/saying healthy. What I do is my mom gives me $250 a month for food, and I order grass-fed pet food (ground beef and organ meats mixed together), and beef fat which i render from a farm in texas (slankers). I cook a lot of meat 1-2 times a week, the rest stays frozen. In addition I eat olive oil, butter, coconut milk, unsweetened chocolate, and cheap vegetables, which i steam. I put lots of spices on everything which makes everything taste very nice. also i eat a bit of fruit and fish. if you can get in ketosis and stay there that's probably the easiest way to lose the weight (of course people do having varying results, some of which is explained by individuals' variant of the Apo4 gene). but trying it for a month wouldn't kill you. and hopefully your family would be accepting of you eating that way for a period.
