Hi KG,

First off congratulations 18lbs isn't nothing. I really agree with Jackie about possibly not enough fat. I second using fitday to track things (be sure to add fiber as a focus though - I drove myself nutty with the carb counting for awhile). What is great is it breaks down things into percents at the bottom. You are striving to eat 70%of calories from fat/35 from protien, and 5% from carbs. You are NOT counting calories. Without a more detailed menu from you it's hard to say...but you could be over doing the veg, meat, and dairy and not getting enough fat. It's not really a high protien diet - it's a high fat diet. It's all about the right balance. You will get there, hang in there!
