Yes, the citric acid and aspartame in diet pop can stall some people. And the bars really aren't for Induction. This is confusing because some sites say the bars are OK. But there are dozens of threads on the board that report that many people don't lose until they quit the bars both in Induction and after.

The good news is that you are NOT stalled. A stall is about 6 weeks of staying on the plan but not losing EITHER pounds or inches. So stick with what the book says and the losing will resume.

The other important point is that you only want to lose 21 pounds and are already 1/3 of the way there in ony 13 days! The last 10-15 pounds will come off slowly and this will allow you to really learn how to eat LC forever and keep from regaining. Like any eating plan, if you go back to the way you used to eat, you'll regain.

So be patient and enjoy the new feeling of better health that comes along with LCing.
