I just cut out all breads and rice a week ago, What do you think of greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is good, but may be to much sugar right now, sorry, stay with plain yogurt. you are trying to trick your body cause its stuck, so you need to fool it with virtually no sugar, so it can start to burn fat. Dont add more sugar if you dont have too. When I got stuck I would increase my green leafy veggies and protien, I stayed away from sugar, even sweet n low and equal etc. Do it for two weeks I promise your bidy will start burning again
