Hi lexicam,
First, congratulations on how well you have done, but it did spoil you a bit, didn't it? It just plain sucks when the weight stops coming off.
I would suggest that you just go back to the basics and stop all the fad tweaking and messing up something that works if you just leave it alone. It just won't heal if you keep picking on it!
No, really.... just sit back and do the thing as it was written and be patient. If you have to do anything beyond that, do exercise, and a lot of it. Don't think of what is happening as a stall, but a plateau that you body has to get used to for a bit. While it is doing that, stop throwing it all the curves by bouncing your diet around.
My experience is that the weight loss continually slows down, then stops for a while. Nothing I have tried will start it again, so I just don't try, except to be more patient and exercise more and more. The more you loose, the more you will have to exercise to keep loosing. And, if you are not there, go back to induction level eating habits and stay there.
It IS working for you.
Best,
T.
