Were Bear, thanks for your feedback and research on the Zone shake. I admit, I did not go beyond the list given on the container.

OK, so possible causes of plateau - cheese and manufactured hi protein drink.

I guess the 14 hour fast is not the solution to my problem.

So, back to "what" I eat - not "when" I eat.

Thank you both (Dierdra and WereBear) for this feedback.

It might be, though. But yeah, people have been tripped up by pre-fab food. You are welcome!
