Hi K-louise. I have a very high sensitivity to MSG and have to look for it in everything. I don't necessarily "stall" since I don't follow Atkins, but I start craving which for me is even worse. :-( If you are sensitive, it could very well be causing your lack of loss, but as Nat mentioned, it may not even be a stall. Regardless, MSG is nasty stuff in my opinion. When you start watching for it, you will be amazed at where it shows it's ugly head!

PS - can you tell me what the food additives site is?? I have a heck of a time trying to track down what the stupid additive numbers mean here in Oz.
