Back to 205 today. Go figure.

DC, I'm not a dietary expert so take what I say with caution, but I'm not sure you're getting enough protein. I'm seeing massive sugar spikes for breakfast, followed by a lot of carbs. That kind of diet may be lower-calorie, but your body may be having a hard time with it. High carb/high sugar spike diets will cause your body to hang on to excess weight.

Breakfast - Your breakfast of juice may seem healthy, but the sugar spike caused by a pure juice breakfast isn't going to do you much good. Of all the meals, I think this is where you're probably on the wrong track.

I'd suggest either some decent bran cereal and/or some protein. If you're going to do fruit, don't drink juice - eat the fruit instead. The pulp is entirely necessary to slow down the digestion so that your body can shed weight and keep sugar levels in balance.

Snack - Fruit is good. If you don't get any protein at breakfast, you need to get some in here.

Lunch - A 4 egg omelet is a bit much. You're probably starved because you didn't have a decent breakfast. Try dropping that to two eggs and maybe a slice or two of whole wheat toast. If there's any cheese on that omelet, make it low-fat.

Snack - Sounds good. How about some nuts though? Your diet may need a bit more protein and this would be a good place to insert it.

Dinner - Tacos are fine. Depending on the size, 4 tacos may be fine. Again, if you're not using meat, you need to get some protein in here.


PS - On Carbs: Don't worry so much about whole wheat and such. If the ingredients say "enriched" flour, skip it. If not, you're probably safe.
