Hi, mg.
I don't know anything about the SBD so I really can't comment on that, but I can tell you what happened with me because it sounds very similar. I was eating really well (sounds like exactly what you're eating)... low calorie, lean protein, whole grain carbs, low fat dairy, veggies, some fruit, and soup. I never snacked, no junk food, I never drink soda or juice,... Not only was I not losing weight, I continued to gain weight. Very frustrating!
I almost completely cut out the whole grain carbs (only occasionally have a small serving of black beans & polenta, one of my favorites), completely eliminated all dairy except the small bit of 1/2 and 1/2 I put in my coffee in the morning, and eliminated the soup. So now I'm on low calorie, low carb, raw fruits & veggies, lean proteins. I have found it very easy to stay below my calorie count each day and the only carbs I'm really eating are in my fruits & veggies, and I've lost over 20-lbs in a month.
Of course, everyone's body chemistry is different so who knows, but our diets were practically identical... perhaps the same tweaks could help you? As far as medical issues go, I'd think suspect #1 would be your thyroid. Good luck, and hang in there!
