Do what I do about food. I look around for sales and what is at Walmart. I rarely buy anything that isn't on sale; except some vegetables. You are bound to encounter some plateaus at times. We all do. They are discouraging but we do know they will pass. If you eat less you will eventually lose weight. I know Atkins says we can eat liberally of proteins and fats, but I've tried to make an effort to slowly lower my food volume as I go. It seems to help when I reach a stall.

Good Luck!
