    I've found that eating very low carbs in the evening meal helps to kick me through a plateau. Eggs, grilled chicken, grass fed beef etc.

    Thanks for the tip! I don't have a problem all day long but after I eat dinner -- that time between 7:00 and 9:30 just about kill me. That's when I would get a snack but I do need to try this for sure.

    This isn't a good tip. Less carbs mean less glycogen which looks like a loss on the scale when it's just less water weight. This is why people think they lose so quickly on low carb diets since they see a big dip on the first week of the diet. Then it levels out so they think low carb doesn't work. When they eat carbs again, their glycogen stores are replenished and they "gain all the weight back". It's not fat loss at all and low carb diets are not necessary for fat loss. The only reason one should go low-carb is if they have a medical reason for doing so.
