Weight Loss Plateau?
I am 5 ft, 6 inches tall and 221#. I eat around 1400 cal a day and have lost about 15 pounds. However, I’ve not lost anything over the past week. Any ideas as to the reason why? Should I cut my calories more? I can’t exercise due to medical issues.

Going Paleo--Recipes please
My doctor would like me to go on the Paleo diet. She feels that this would be the best way to go to improve my health.
