You're planning to deviate? Bang, bang!! Just kidding, of course.

If it's any comfort (probably not), I stalled for a full year with another 15 lbs to lose. I went back to induction level carbs - didn't help. Tried various other things, but nothing seemed to work. And then my blood tests came back pre-diabetic and I felt betrayed by the diet and by my body. However, before I went back for a retest, I cut out all artificial sweeteners for a week. Blood work came back just fine this time, and the weight slowly started to shift itself.

I'm not saying this would work for you necessarily, what I am saying is never give up!

Oh, and welcome to the friendliest forum on the internet!!
