What you need is a diet you can follow as a lifestyle. My opinion would be continue with the salads and protein for lunch and dinner but add complex carbs, such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, etc. Have the sweets just in moderation (i.e. small peice of dark chocolate with some decaf coffee).

And most importantly, continue with the exercise. Research has shown that diet alone does not contribute to sustained weight loss. Diet and exercise is the gold standard to maintain the wight you shed off.

Apologize about the long comment.. Had to correct the misconceptions.
