Waldorfmom is right about upping the fat! Eat an ounce of cheese with your eggs, some oil on your chicken, dressing on your salad, etc. You can probably also eat more carbs than it looks like you're eating. Though the good doctor specifies three cups of salad vegetables, that guideline is for a diet that also consists of 3-4oz dairy, avocado, olives, sour cream, and a modest amount of artificial sweeteners. You can eat a lot more veggies! Have you found www.fitday.com yet? If you enter in your numbers, I bet you will find you are way below 20g carbs. There is no need to go that low. In fact, you need the fiber from veggies to keep you regular, thus aiding in weight loss.
Also make sure to get at least 8 cups of water a day! It really helps.
Good luck!
