Personally I think 3-4lbs is WAY too much to be losing each week. A LOT of this will be muscle. Granted you lose a lot of water when you first start dieting, but to be consistently losing this means you're catabolic, unless you're running a lot of anabolics with this.

I think 1-2lbs a week should be the maxiumum you should be losing.

By the looks of your diet, although you don't post quantities, I'm guessing it's around 1200 calories / day, which unless you weigh the wrong side of 120lbs, is FAR too little. You'll end up slowing down your metabolism vastly with this.

I also note no protein in your first meal, which is problematic especially first thing. I also note almost no fats in your diet.
