Not all "stalls" are created equal.

Despite the anecdotal evidence, I have my doubts about what some folks attribute their stalls (real or imagined) to. The normal daily ups and downs and the jagged nature of our body weight and loss over time creates countless opportunities for false blame of innocent dietary options.

I'd prefer to see controlled studies of stall-causing items before passing judgment.

Personally, I consume alcohol and caffeine, and I often eat beyond satisfaction, and yet my weight loss has continued (though at a slower rate than it would if I made more righteous choices).
