Dfrost,
Hey there. I learned about M/E the hard way too! Just up the fat content on the things that you are eating. Use butter or oil when you cook eggs, meat on the stove. Cut back on the salad or out completely until you see results and just add some bacon or another small portion of fatty meat or eggs as a side dish. I know, it sounds disgusting especially now that it's hot outside, but believe me, the fat will actually help you lose weight. I used to buy packaged beefsteaks at Sams Club, you know the chopped up kind for philly cheesesteaks, and cook those up two at a time for lunch. Tons of fat left over but I just poured it over the meat...gross, yes, but ya know what? I lost ten pounds in a week and didn't have cravings. And I've kept those ten pounds off to this day despite yo yoing here and there. In fact, I'm about to go back to that beefsteak stuff this week. If the low carb thing is working for you, believe me, the higher fat content/low to no carbs will speed up the weight loss. Keep drinking water and take a vit supplement too. I also add a potassium caplet as well due to leg cramps...whatever works!
Good luck!!
