I have been on the No white flour no sugar diet since October. I lost weight until about 1 month ago. Now I am just staying where I am and not moving anywhere. Any suggestions?

there is so much to check out here. Firstly, every body when it is in the down mode hits a plateau. Secondly, are you drinking enough water? Just no white and no sugar, what about dairy? Thats all sugar or turns into it at least. (this wi\ould be problematic if oyu have candidia) Exercising? sometimes when you are actively exercising the process of building muscle slows doen the weight gain. Are you sleeping enough? There are studies that prove that when you don't sleep enough, it makes it extremely hard to lose weight. What about the season? Is it winter for you? The chinese docs would say, its impossible to shed pounds in the winter, just wait until the spring. Is there some other culprit to blame? candidia etc?
The portion thing is also right on. How are your portions? Is your vegetable portion always bigger than the others? Are you waiting a full 3 hours (b'erech) to digest or are you grazing all day?

I agree with the above! after 3 month of losing (how much?) its very normal to hit a plateau! Do not give up yet!
One thing I heard is actually to vary your meals (if you eat mostly the same)
If you still eating the same as the last 3 months, I wouldnt eat less but try maybe to eat a bit more, sometimes that is the problem. (eating too little)
I had a friend who after losing steadily, stayed on a plateau, she was told to eat a bit more and she suddenly lost again.
and excersice is VERY important and can also help!

Good luck!
