I keep dropping and have not yet plateaued. I'm not sure what I'm at now as far as weight loss. Thing is, I started doing this as the thinnest guy in my shop. But for me, I was in a pathetic state. Being 5'5 and 180 pounds is fine if you're built like a brick shithouse. Not so fine when you're just flabby (though my wife tried to convince me I wear it well. lol).
The carb desire can be a bit overwhelming at times but it's getting better. It's really amazing how addicted to sugar we are as a nation.
Generally, my day starts with breakfast consisting of 3 eggs and a few strips of bacon. I only drink water aside from one protein shake in the morning.
Lunch varies, but always includes a salad/vegetable and meat. I also have a snack of veggies and a low/no carb dip.
Lunch example: today was two hamburger patties w/ old bay seasoning mixed in, some Tillamook cheddar cheese, avocado w/ salt and pepper. Filling, tasty, and fairly inexpensive.
My pre-low carb food intake was:
Break: egg sandwich w/ English muffin (homemade, not McD)
Lunch: leftovers
Snack: PBJ and chips
