Newlywed,

I think the meat/egg fast will work great for you, because it will reveal mistakes with your induction menu, which might be why you are stalling.

Some advice if you do this:

* use fitday.com to log everything that goes into your mouth other than water. Use fitday to choose a goal for the calorie deficit. 1000 calorie defiict might be a good goal for you. If your deficit is too low, you wil stall. If your deficit is too high, your body will slow metabolism and you will stall anyway.

* no cheating.... this really means only egg and meat literally. Try very hard not to use any salt and eat only sodium free deli meats. Alternatively put deli meat through water to remove some of the sodium. All snacks must be meat or egg. No low carb frankenfoods, protein bars, veggies, fruit, etc.

* make the egg the centerpiece of your meal. Each egg has only 70 calories. Try to make some of your meals eggs only. Some meats are very dense in calories and may reduce your caloric deficit significantly, so eat eggs. As a bonus, eggs are a lot cheaper than meat.

* Try to eat four or five meals per day, evenly spaced out.

* drink lots of water througout the day other than while sleeping. Unless somebody invents liquid meat or liquid egg, water is the only drink allowed.

* you'll need a sugar free fiber supplement and a multivitamin

When you go back to induction, you won't be able to add in a lot of carbs without exceeding 20g carbs. My guess is that you will only be able to add another 15g carbs or so and that's not a lot. Lose the low carb frankenfoods and add back all net carbs except fiber. Your induction menu will look very similar to the meat/egg diet.

Good luck.
