Thanks for posting this. I'm close to my goal but also stuck, or stalled. Reading this advice, will try to eat more fat now, to see if that will help. Already cut out the fake Atkins candy bars too (was eating one every couple days). Have tried to take multiple-vitamins, but they make me feel a little sick unless taken on a full stomach. Lots of good ideas here. Good luck breaking that long stall Benny. Not sure what hcg is...my first reaction (purely a reaction) is to stay away from it. This is a newbie speaking. But even when stuck, this is a healthy way to eat, and that's the first priority.
