Just a thought...since you said you've hit a stall on the weight loss.
Studies have shown that keeping your body fueled every 3-4 hours actually keeps your metabolism up in between meals.
You might want to reduce your cabbage to 1 1/2 cups at the meal time and make sure that you eat a good protein based snack 2-3 times a day in between. Just a TBS of low carb peanut butter, nuts, or low fat cheese will give your metabolism a boost.
I have been trying to eat 1/2 of my veggies, then the protein, then whatever I can of the rest of my veggies. Save the grain and fruit for last. If I am not hungry, then I don't eat them. I figure that is that part that I need the least ...and 1-2 servings a day is enough.
When I first started Phase 1 & 2, I ate 1 cup of veggies at breakfast, 2 cups at lunch & dinner. But now I am satisfied with a little more lean protein and about 1 1/2 cup of the veggies.
