Just cut your calories if you can't exercise. Figure out your BMR and eat about 100-200 calories above it. If you're a big person or a guy, you shouldn't have a problem losing 10 lbs. in a month. If you're not huge, it's going to be very hard to do and you'll have to suffer and then at the end when and if you have, you'll want to eat everything in sight so you will and you'll gain back 20.
The first and most important question is why do you need to lose 10lbs in a month? And what will you do once the weight is off?
Drop the deadline and eat healthy, fresh foods. Watch your calories and figure out a way to get some exercise into your life.
If I may, I suggest you try the 21 day fix. Good clean eating and exercise. It works. I have never had a diet plan work for me but this one is working. You can google it, it's awesome.
The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook offers a scientifically based approach to quick weight and fat loss. Recognizing that people need or simply want to lose weight and fat rapidly, I set out to develop the safest, most effective way of accomplishing that goal.
I based the program around the idea of creating a diet that would provide the fewest calories possible while still providing all of the essential nutrients required by the body: protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. This provides simply the safest and sanest way to lose fat quickly without sacrificing health (or muscle mass).

This!
The faster you lose weight, it's more than likely you'll put the weight back on as quickly.

Actually there have been recent studies saying the exact opposite. It was shown that people that lost weight faster tended to become more motivated and more successful in their dieting.

Not true because those who quickly lose weight don't have sufficient time to develop new habit patterns and their old eating patterns quickly return - as well as their lower level of activity.

It is a common belief that weight loss achieved at a slow rate is better preserved than if the weight is lost more rapidly. However, the literature shows that initial weight loss is positively, not negatively, related to long-term weight maintenance. There is evidence from randomised intervention trials to support that a greater initial weight loss induced without changes in lifestyle (e.g. liquid formula diets or anorectic drugs) improves long-term weight maintenance, providing it is followed by a 1-2 years integrated weight maintenance programme consisting of lifestyle interventions involving dietary change, nutritional education, behaviour therapy and increased physical activity. In conclusion, we find evidence to suggest that a greater initial weight loss as the first step of a weight management programme may result in improved sustained weight maintenance.
Weight loss is difficult to achieve and maintaining the weight loss is an even greater challenge. The identification of factors associated with weight loss maintenance can enhance our understanding for the behaviours and prerequisites that are crucial in sustaining a lowered body weight. In this paper we have reviewed the literature on factors associated with weight loss maintenance and weight regain. We have used a definition of weight maintenance implying intentional weight loss that has subsequently been maintained for at least 6 months. According to our review, successful weight maintenance is associated with more initial weight loss, reaching a self-determined goal weight, having a physically active lifestyle, a regular meal rhythm including breakfast and healthier eating, control of over-eating and self-monitoring of behaviours. Weight maintenance is further associated with an internal motivation to lose weight, social support, better coping strategies and ability to handle life stress, self-efficacy, autonomy, assuming responsibility in life, and overall more psychological strength and stability. Factors that may pose a risk for weight regain include a history of weight cycling, disinhibited eating, binge eating, more hunger, eating in response to negative emotions and stress, and more passive reactions to problems.
Like I said, the research is starting to poke holes in the "slower is better" dogma.
