I'm 7 months out and I usually keep my carbs under 50g, my Protein between 70-100 a day and my calories between 650-800. These parameters have helped me lose the weight but after doing this for months sometimes my weight slows down. When this happen, I usually eat whatever I want for a day or two then get back to my normal routine. I usually lose 5lbs the next week. The cheat days seem to shock my body and helps the scale to start moving again. Don't know if this will work for you but Good Luck!
