An excellent site that discusses healthy weight loss and diet advice for Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians and Vegans can be found at vegetarian diet info. I think you might find the answers to your questions there.
Im no vegetarian, but 90% of my diet consists of fruit, veg and natural products made herbally.
I advise to get lots of protein in your diet and as much colour as possible too. I usually snack 2-3 times a day on fruit and veg as well as 3 meals and still lose weight, so it works well.
Don't forget to get your water intake upto the 2 litre mark. If you are drinking water a lot anyhow make sure you are not retaining the water. If you are then you need to drink more to flush your system out.
I don't care what anybody tells you water is the most important part of any diet.
