Welcome Huruta! First, it's not uncommon to lose well in the first week (maybe two) and then have a period of adjustment where the scale doesn't move but your body gets used to where you are. Are you measuring as well as weighing? Try it; you might be shrinking even though the scale is static.
Also, three pounds is over ten percent of what you want to lose. Well done! This close to your goal the pounds aren't going to fly off the way they might for someone with 100 lbs to lose. Try not to compare your gross pound losses with others who are not at the same starting point as you.
Food aversion: Nancy LC is right. Many people experience this and for most of them it goes away.
It does not go away for me. I can't do LCHF - the high fat part makes me want to vomit. Constantly. Instead I focus entirely on the LC part. I eat leaner meats, raw nuts and seeds, don't drown my veggies in butter or salad dressing, etc. If I eat bacon it's super crispy and not dripping with fat. If I eat something like sausage it's because I'm super jonesing for it and I don't eat much of it. It's true that I don't eat much overall but I'm satisfied with my intake and no longer feel like death warmed up all the time.
Yesterday:
B: Two cold hard boiled eggs*
L: 4.5 oz corned beef** w/mustard, 3oz raw cauliflower with a tbsp of ranch dressing for dipping (some days I eat it all, some days I don't)
D: Turkey burger with a small amount of mayo, lettuce, onion and tomato; with a large dill pickle
S: 1oz raw walnuts
*Normally for breakfast I blend ice cold coffee, a little half and half, a bit of splenda and a raw egg. Drink very cold. Not too rich and tides me over til lunch.
**I find that for me, higher fat meats get worse when reheated. When I do it, I reheat it only just enough to knock the cold off - 30 seconds to a minute. Cut it into small bites before nuking so you don't have to heat it so long.
Hopefully you won't have to deal with this for too long but if you do, you can find things that work for you.
