Well, there's a few ways to get out of your 'plateau'
you can:
a. Cut back on calories. If you're eating 1600 calories per day, make it 1500 or 1400.
b. Increase your excersise time. 15 minutes to 25 minutes, etc.
c. Cut back on something else you eat a lot. Like replace some snacks with fruit or vegetables. Or if you drink a lot of juices drink water instead.
Well, that's all I got at the moment.
Hope I helped. =]

Detox diet/fasting = bad idea. It'll just slow down your metabolism and you'll gain all the weight back within 5 days.
Find at least 15min to exercise everyday. 15min!!! Even if it's just watching TV, jog in place. IF you're waiting for something, stand up and wait. There are lots of adjustments you can make that are minor and not time consuming that will burn more calories.
Eating should of course be regulated daily to a healthy meal. Junk food elimination. Eat 5 times a day (or 3 small-medium meals plus 2 healthy snacks in between).
If you go to my forum page (you can go there by going to my page and clicking the link for my forum provided), there should be topics I posted about losing weight.
I think my major weight loss was during the summer after I got my braces. I couldn't eat much stuff so I ended up cutting out like 80% of all junk food. Also I woke up 90% of the time at 6AM and did an hour of exercise that came on TV in the mornings...and if I didn't feel too lazy I too a run (1.5 -3 miles).
I think that the biggest problem with losing weight is that we set too high of a goal and then get discouraged and fall back into bad habits.
What I suggest is to set small goals (like lose 3 pounds in a month)--that way you're more likely to achieve them and feel more motivated to go on to lose more! Don't let a silly plateau break all that hard work you've done so far. Just find 15 minutes every day to take a brisk walk, jog, etc.--even dance around like a maniac!

I'm really not sure if this would work, but it wouldn't hurt to tell you.
I would think that maybe a detox diet would help with getting over the plateau. Or just cut back more on your calories to help you lose those five or ten pounds to get you back on track.
Good luck!
