Good luck with it.  I don't think you'll find a single sentence
in the book that advises reduction of calories for weight loss,
post-plateau or otherwise.  A good place to begin is the bold
heading on page 22: "Caloric Restriction is not the Answer."
Note also in the Q&A on page 189: "The only *other* way to lose
weight involves caloric restriction and regular strenuous
exercise."  Note also the advice, on page 128, to snack regularly
on nuts, fruits, and dried meats.  Also: "Eating between meals is
encouraged, but it is also helpful to increase the size of each
meal."  Lest you suppose that this is not about weight loss, two
sentences later, we find, "Have faith that as your weight
decreases, etc."  For breaking a stall, on the next page ketosis
is advised, not reduction of calories.  Well, sometimes ketosis
does that; sometimes it doesn't.
