Hi Dab!
Some people lose very steadily, some people lose weight in chunks after a plateau of 2-3 weeks.... or longer! But a plateau after induction is very common. I was just like you (except worse!)... I went into a panic when I stalled out after induction, just KNOWING that this diet was gonna fail me too. But thanks to the folks on this board I just stuck it out and sure enough, the scale started moving again. Then I plateaued AGAIN....for 7 weeks....then I lost 5 lbs. So I've had to learn to persevere through the plateaus and just have faith. Ive had to adjust my whole mental attitude toward weight loss that for ME, it will just take longer to lose the weight than I had planned!! Oh well, at least the scale keeps moving in the right direction and I'm very happy with the way I feel and the foods I'm eating. And, when I average it all out, I'm losing at the rate of 0.6 lbs. per week....right on target. We'd all love to lose 2-3 lbs a week, but for most of us it just doesn't happen that way.
Your menu sounds fine. I'd go easy on the pork rinds, just because of the salt content. And they may be the reason you're having heartburn. I get hearburn if I'm under some stress and then eat something spicy and high in fat. Maybe just keep an eye on the spices until your body adjusts to this new WOE.
You're doing really well. This board will be very helpful to you if you visit and post often. You'll make some great friends, too!!! Big Bonus!!
Hope this helps....
