When we were stuck inside for days with all roads closed with flooding I ate LOTS of nice fatty meats and was liberal with my butter and olive oil. Since the extra weight came from fat and protein, cutting those back hard might have been the perfect shake up for me.

Hacks are all about finding what works for you, Marie! But the best ones are those that are radically different from what's causing a stall. And don't forget, hacks are not meant to be a permanent part of your diet.
I confess this year's PH has been pretty disappointing; in two weeks I've lost only 6lbs compared to 12 lb avg two years ago. I've been debating going back to LC....until I tried on a tight tank shirt yesterday at Goodwill and saw waist curves and leaner legs that didn't exist two weeks ago, an excellent reminder that just because the scale doesn't show much downward movement doesn't mean nothing's happening!
So, I've decided on one more PH week, then back to LC.
