    Have you been weighing out a majority of everything you've been eating? Or just eyeballing?

    How tall are you? What is your weight?
    How many calories, really, are in the food you've been eating for a week?
    Have you been weighing your food?

    Besides all that, 1 week is not enough time to form an evaluation.
    Stay consistently in your food plan for a month, then see where your weight has moved.

    Are you logging your food? Are you measuring portion sizes well (a food scale would be preferable)? How many calories is this and are you beneath your calorie needs for the day? How much is "much" weight? It's only been a week. If you've lost 1-2 pounds then you're in a perfect range. If you've lost more, well it's the first week and might even out over time. If you've lost less, then it's still just the first week. Not everyone sees a loss right away. If you're certain you're in a calorie deficit (and it's impossible to tell with the information you've given us) then give it a couple more weeks and see what happens.

    So, you have lost weight, just less than you were expecting? How much have you lost?

    So this is an expectations issue then. How much did you think you were going to lose? How much would have made you happy?

    Too much protein won't cause you to stop losing weight unless it takes you over your calorie needs.

    Give it time, a pound over a week is fine

    Then eat what you like, just less of it/track your calories.

    you dont have to eat clean.

    that menu you gave wouldnt last me a day. id die of boredom. and my taste buds would be mad. and id be a witch to be around.

    eat what you want. learn how to weigh it on a scale and log it correctly.

    This!

    I need a variety and "naughty / dirty" food but it fits my calorie goal so all is good.
