Eat protein when you are hungry (ie. low fat cheese, egg, turkey breast meat).

I find carbohydrates make me hungrier but protein helps with that hungry feeling.

Good luck with your weight loss.

Your body may be retaining water. Water weighs more than fat. Avoid salt! Sucks because I love salt.

Here is what I did:

Have a half grapefruit for breakfast & 1 Egg or 1/4 cup  Egg substitute  for Breakfast.

3.5 oz white fish for lunch. Cooked spinach for lunch(1/2 cup cooked). 1/2 grapefruit. Also, if desired, salad of  2 cups of lettuce and low sodium, low calorie, low carb dressing.

Also for dinner the same as lunch. White fish (3-4 oz), cooked spinach and 1/2 grapefruit. If you are worried about carbs, skip the 1/2 grapefruit for dinner.

Before bed, squeeze 1/2 lemon and dump lemon shell (rind) into boiling water and drink (with or without non calorie sweetner). 

If you hate fish you can substitute real egg whites or chicken breasts (no skin) for lunch or dinner. Egg substitute has sodium. For lunch once, I made an egg  white and cooked spinach frittata to "vary" the diet.

When I did this I also had the 15 calorie, 0 carb, no sugar jello when I was hungry for a snack.

I know it is boring but this supposedly releases water from your "fat" cells and also can help you out of a "plateau". Don't do this for more than 3 days. It should help with plateau and water retention. I tried it and it worked! I was stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks and this jump started my weight loss again. 

Oh ya, don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. If for a medical reason you cannot have grapefruit you can substitute a small tangerine for the grapefruit. 

I was told this diet works to release water because of some sort of enzymatic reaction.Good luck.

(I've lost 24 pounds since August and have 1.5 pounds to reach my goal weight-- been thru several "plateau's"- don't give up!!).  Not sure what the calorie count is on this 3 day diet, but if it is not enough have more protein (fish, egg whites or chicken). For me it worked in one day. For my roomate, she dropped a 4 pounds after three days after a 4 week plateau.
