Some of us have metabolsims that drop into starvation mode and conserve energy when calories are restricted. So, the weight doesn't change. What works for me is severe carbohydrate restriction, close to an Atkins approach. I try for low carb AND low fat. Also, the carbs I do take in are heavy on fiber and good quality.

The above is slow torture and slow weight loss. To speed it up, add exercise as much as possible to fit into the day.
