I agree with earlier comments about sweeteners - in my first round I used truvia and sweet n low. Now I'm on stevia only, and I think my losses are more consistent from day to day. I still have stalls, but I went for two weeks this time without stalling at all (versus a stall after the first 7 days in my first round).

If you'll do more than one round, I would also add not to pressure yourself to do another round until you are truly ready. Definitely follow Dr. S's guidelines for time between rounds, and then some. After my first round, I was so grateful to eat a bigger variety of food. I started to gain a little on P4, and instead of spending time to figure out why, I jumped into round 2 after 5 weeks instead of 6. I should have probably waited even longer than the 6 weeks. I had a terrible Round 2 because I didn't want to be in P2! I dreaded each day of P2, ended up cheating, and had a net loss of zero when it came to an end. What a waste of time!

I wish I had just waited until I was mentally "in it".

I'm on Round 3 now, and I'm back in the game full on and committed like I was in Round 1. I just needed to be ready for it.
