The Healthy Weight Registry publishes research on people who have maintained a stable weight throughout their lives. Their findings are listed on their website. You can complete a questionnaire to see if you are eligible to participate.
Then there is the National Weight Control Registry, which tracks people who have lost at least 30 pounds and maintained it for a year or more. You can read their findings on their website.
Just entered the thread, which non-protein foods are good fat intake?
Butter, oils (olive, whatever), avocados, olives (but lots of salt), nuts especially macadamias or pecans although cashews aren't disgusting and don't have too much protein.
When you hit a plateau the best way to reset would be to have a cheat meal high in carbs and low in fats. This would reset the plateau and with the new BMI calculation, you redesign your diet to reach your goal of those 20lbs lose. All the best for your journey.

I have the occasional cheat meal ( maybe once every few weeks )
I honestly do not think it resets anything with my body. It does help me mentally as no diet can be maintained long term ( years and years ) without the occasional cheat meals tossed in to reward yourself for your gains ( losses )
I find myself eating 1/2 my cheater meal and realizing I am quite full and stop. Its amazing how after eating low carb - proper whole foods for months and months how your appetite and stomach shrink. Trying to eat a previous what I thought 'normal portion' is near impossible and I will not even try.
eating until you 'feel full' is a HUGE mistake you must get over when you begin dieting / learning new and proper ways to eat.
I did the Ketogenic diet for a couple of months until I plateaued. Now I can't drop any more weight but I did drop 30 lbs from that diet. I've been reviewing the internet for info on how to break this plateau however by doing that, I'm more confused than ever. Does it really just come down to calorie restriction per day? If I hit my calorie target and exercise 20-30 minutes a day, is that all I should focus on and just be happy with the weight I've already dropped? I got about 20 more lbs. to go but they will be the lbs. that the body won't want to let go of.
thanks for any advice.
In concentration camps, there wasn't one fat prisoner. So yes.
But, sugar can mess with hormones big time causing a plethora of issues, making weight loss seem geologically slow.
Consume less,move more.
On a permanent basis and not part of a " diet. "
It's a simple as that.
(Although cutting back on starch and sugar is a good way to kick-start the new you.)
I think it is that simple too, but what I find not simple is handling the hunger pains when I consume less.
I know how to make my calories healthy ones but the hunger that results makes the "simple" solution
difficult.

There's the rub. The trick is to find foods that satiate you for longer periods of time and learn to recognize true hunger and dismiss phantom hunger, a psychological state of feeling like you need to eat something because you are used to eating more food than you do now. Distraction and movement will help.

Exactly
I rarely eat out ... so I find my mental hunger pains almost always occur when I am at home and near ... guess what? Yup ! My fridge and cabinets
If I am out and about even though my stomach is just as empty I do not get the hunger pains and urge to eat like I do when I am home and near food.
I will notice maybe on the 3rd or 4th hole of golf I feel 'hungry alittle' and snack on a small fistful of unsalted almonds and that holds me over for the next few hours because I am bust golfing and not THINKING about food.
Now if I were home ... I would most likely be having a larger snack / meal than those few almonds over that period of time.
By the time I am done golfing I am not even thinking about food until I get home later
