[quote=Anonymous]Try going lower carb and see if that budges the scale.

No rice (substitute riced cauliflower) or sweet potatoes. Salad - no croutons, very low calorie and low carb salad dressing. Brands to look for: Skinny Girl, G Hughes, Walden Farms

Fish and Chicken - grilled or blackened, no breading, certainly not fried. Again, look for low calorie and low carb BBQ sauces and ketchup like G Hughes.

Make lasagna using zucchini (instead of pasta) and Rao's marinara sauce.

Continue tracking your calories and aim for closer to 1200 than 1500. Aim for <20 net carbs per day (net carb = carb - fiber - sugar alcohols)

If you order a lunch salad or meal at a restaurant, eat half and take the rest home for dinner. Consider bringing a discrete small container of salad dressing from home.

Avoid all sugar, flour, pasta, corn, potatoes, rice, chips, crackers, alcohol, caloric beverages. Fruits - only berries in moderation.

If you go out, look at the menu online and already know what you plan to order. If Mexican, usually chicken or shrimp fajitas, no beans, rice or tortillas. If it's a casual place, discretely bring a bag of quest chips to use with salsa. At Italian, sub broccoli for pasta. Elsewhere, ask for salad or grilled vegetables as the sides to steak, grilled chicken or fish. Get a hamburger or chicken sandwich with no bun. Salad instead of fries.
Breakfast is eggs or omelette and bacon or sausage (no hash browns, grits or toast). Soups should be broth based, no pasta or beans and if you can check the nutrition online so you know the calorie and carb count.

If you need a snack, celery and cream cheese, mozzarella stick or 1/4 cup nuts (Spanish peanuts are fairly low carb). If you want crunch or "fried" chicken or fish, sub crushed pork rinds for panko. Experiment with almond flour as a sub if you want a breaded texture. If you crave sweets, try a small amount of Lily's chocolate.

You don't have to do this forever, but try it for 2 months and see if it breaks your plateau.[/quote]
