    No reason to change it as long as you are getting enough micronutrients and hitting your macro/calorie goal.

    Not true at all. I have no idea where this person got this information from but it is wrong.

    ^this. The only argument for variety in your diet is nutritional completeness. Eating the same foods every day won't magically stall you out if your diet is nutritionally balanced.

    There are two main reasons imo.

    1) you are eating too much. As you lose weight, your total energy expended goes down, so unless you increase your activity, you no longer are eating less than you burn. In addition, after a while, people can get a little careless about measuring/weighing and logging intake accurately so they eat more than they think.

    2) metabolic adaptation/hormonal imbalance. Dieting is hard on a body and can cause hormones to become out of whack, either causing a temporary decrease in your daily calorie expenditure and/or cause more water retention than usual, The way to mitigate this is to have a 7 - 10 day diet break every couple of months.
