I downvoted you as your last meal of the day should be high protein, low GI. Fruit is the opposite.
You've been here long enough to know that this is not how HN does things.
You do NOT express disagreement with downmods.
Yes, I know about those, and despite what he says, that is not the current norm. (Those posts are from quite a long time ago.)
This is not a difference of opinion, it's removing incorrect and even harmful information from the discussion. I'd have modded the same if he'd advised smoking to lose weight.

Well I apologize. Point I was trying to make was actually that the last meal should be small not the kind of it.
That is not a lot of training. Lets assume that this is mostly all exercise the author is doing (she's probably sitting through most of her day). That is barely making up for the lack of exercise.
If she (or anybody else for that matter) stopped loosing weight at her current intake/expenditure level it's merely an indication that she either eats too much or exercises too little.
But the basic problem being that people believe that 30 minutes or 1 hour is a lot exercise. At those levels you don't even get your body going yet. What a person thinks about their fitness level is irrelevant. A person doing only 1 hour of exercise a day is barely fit. Really fit people (athletic - thin) can go on for 3-5 hours without problem.
So if you want to lose weight drop any meals after 4 pm (4 pm being last snack - a fruit). Start eating in the morning, eat every 3 hours (breakfast - snack - lunch - snack - over) and exercise at least 1 hour a day (2 being super good). Don't work yourself too hard. Go for low intensity workout (walking, light running, cycling). You HAVE to stay under 70% HR (sub 140 BMP for 20-30 yr old).
You can eat anything in any combination. This kind of diet is kinda hard for first two weeks but then it becomes a habit.
