So it's kind of a high protein, high fat diet, very low in sodium? Ouch!

'Dr Poon's low-carb, low-sodium, low-fat lifestyle diet is about what to eat rather than how much to eat.'

Low will to live, if I had to eat that way

OP, if you're willing to share a bit more about your specific health circumstances that prompted you to use this diet, we might be able to offer some advice. At its simplest, not losing weight for an extended period of time means you are eating at maintenance. WHAT you are eating is secondary.

I started this program last year because basically I was suffering from knee pain, I’ve lost 40 lbs but now it’s getting very hard to stick to the program because the options are very limited, a lot of protein, low salt low sugar, very limited fruits and no carbs. Don’t get me wrong, it works great but very boring...

Look at what you're saying. And then realise this:
If your knees are better, it's because you've lost weight, not because you've followed this diet.
If you have lost weight, it's because you've eaten less (been in a consistent calorie deficit), not because of a high protein, low sugar, etc etc diet.
ANY diet that provides a calorie deficit, will make you lose weight IF your stick to it.
The point of a weightloss diet is therefore not just to provide a calorie deficit, but to be something you can and will stick to.
So many people get too attached to the diet they're on. But your diet is just what you eat. Ultimately, you always decide what to eat.
An extended period of deprivation is always followed by a period of rebound overeating. The wight gain from the overeating always outweighs the weight lost during deprivation. That's why people who go on diets, gain weight, and "need" to go back to the diet, or find another, a pattern that is often referred to as yoyo-dieting.
