Im 10 days late. i've been so stress thinking i might be pregnant and on a strict diet for a month. could that be the reason for my late period?

Yes: Your ovaries are very sensitive to stressors. Weight loss, travel, anxiety are classic examples of things in your life that effect your ovaries and their hormone production, and consequently your periods. Normal cycles usually return once the stressor resolves.

Possibly: Reasons for missed/late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight ^ or v, over-exercise, endurance athletics, breast-feeding, ^ stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), anovulatory cycle (no egg released), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, meds (i.e., birth control) or medical problems (i.e. PCOS). #1 reason is pregnancy.
