    Low carb diets aren't any better for fat loss than a balanced diet with a calorie deficit.
    Yes, they are.
    Eating higher protein & lower carbs leads to more weight loss. Links to studies in this blog post.

    Try 45% carbs, 20% fat, 35% protein

    It seems you are synthesizing those sources to imply a conclusion that is not clearly stated by the sources themselves. Most of them simply are stating eat "more protein rather" than "eat less carbs lose more weight".

    forget the scale and focus on measurements. do you honestly care if you weigh so much if it's all muscle? a lb of muscle is smaller than a lb of fat so you could weigh the same or even more but have lost fat.

    Do you track your food/weigh every item you eat? You're probably eating more than you think.

    ^^ This. Also, you can drop every one of the supplements you're taking except for the multivitamin.

    The fish oil is good for heart health so it may be a good supplement to keep along with the multivitamin. Otherwise, I would drop the rest, they don't do anything except eat up your money.

  • It can be really frustrating when your diet does not yield the promised results and you are left in the same state as before. I think here your eating habit is the culprit. Many a times calories enter our diet unknowingly. A simple snack or a cookie that you had sometime can ruin the effect of your diet. Have a look at this article http://www.holisticsvoice.com/healthy-diet/find-hidden-calories-diet/, it talks about the same thing. Make sure that your diet doesn't contain any hidden calories.
