Hi Babydoc,
Welcome back, congrats on getting back to LC after stopping for a little while. I've got more ??'s than answers
Which plan are you following? The food you are eating looks good, you just might need a small salad or raw veggies ~ lunch. Have you been keeping track of your carbs? Atkins is the strictest LC plan & he recommends 20 carbs during induction. Have you been getting your 20 carbs, if not, better add some veg/salad. Others on this board have advised in the past that eating too little can prevent weight loss becoz the body's survival mechanism kicks in and slows the metabolism. It thinks it is starving, imagine that! So sometimes eating more will cause lbs to disappear.
You are in ketosis, are you losing weight? or do you just want to lose faster? Again, others have said this b4 me, you didn't gain the extra weight in just a few months, it probably took a long time, so don't be in a rush to take it off. Many people here (including me) are chosing LC as a WOL, not a diet that we will one day go off. This takes the pressure off to lose excess lbs fast. Because you recently lost weight LCing, it may be unrealistic to expect the same results, your body has already made adjustments.
IMHO, I didn't think a person could drink too much water However, I'm no expert on this
