When I first started this diet (Jan 1, 05) my wife and I made a new year's resolution to change our ways. First we bought a George Foreman grill which completely changed our eating habits. What used to be dinners consisting of pizzas or enchiladas soon turned into grilled veggies and chicken. This phase went on for some time and we both lost 15 lbs within 3 months.
It's funny though, when you put your mind to it you can accomplish amazing things. Soon, in a quest to actually become healthy again my diet morphed into cutting out ALL dairy products, breads (rolls, etc) wheat products, juices, and everything that comes in a package.
In otherwords I've gone to basically a whole foods diet. This may seem extreme to some but I have overcome an incredible list of health issues. Blood pressure, cholesterol, excess weight, lack of energy, lack of motivation, sleep issues, headaches and more. I just need to thank Dr. Atkins for his book and knowledge. Granted I think I've gone beyond the scope of his plan but it was his truths that helped me get started.
I have now lost over 30 lbs and am at a competely normal weight. My wife (though not as strict as me) has also lost almost 30 lbs and is also at a normal weight.
If anyone is on stall, I would suggest cutting out ALL breads and all grain products for a while and see if that doesn't help. Also, I lived on fruits that were supposedly "high in sugar" such as apples, carrots, pineapple etc., and had absolutely no trouble losing weight. I think natural, whole foods -- though containing sugar -- must react differently in the body than a simple sugar like you'd find in a cup cake. Good luck, SP
