Welcome back,
Your stats appear you are not far from goal weight, consider updating your profile if you have 4 stone to lose. Also the Plan reads Atkins, which has a two week Induction phase of less than 20g carbs. You don't list amounts, but your sample menu appears higher in carb than that. Quorn, many vegetables (there is a 3 cup limit) and those sauces may be loaded with carbs. There are LC recipes to make your own curry type sauces but check the label if purchased. https://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=236482 A strict Induction phase helps overcome cravings and lose hunger. There is a classic Mike Eades article on why the second time around is harder...a number of reasons; people remember the later stages and not the induction rules. https://proteinpower.com/why-is-low...nd-time-around/

And as others have suggested, also reducing your "eating window" has benefits to keep insulin low. Ditto everything Don and others wrote about WHEN to eat. DietDoctor is a great resource for all low carb and fasting. ps: I will never give up coffee Black is preferred but I use 1T of cream and do OK. Some say 100 calories breaks the fast..but nobody knows. And pps: hate to mention this, but you are a decade older than when you joined this forum...women go through hormonal changes that make weight loss more challenging. Sorry. You can still lose weight, I'm almost 69, but it will be slower.
