    well just some general tips...

    EXERCISE - build muscles, muscles burn fat (not directly though, you cant get a six pack by only doing situps)

    get enough fiber and protein - fiber gets the metabolism going, also spicy food, like chili

    channge the calory intake a bit, get themetabolism going by incresing a bit one day and get some movement in the calory intake

    have many and smaller meals: I have a rule of having at least three meals (thats too few though) and I have a minimum o three hours between every meal

    get enough water, minerals, omega 3 and vitamins

    change youre lifestyle in stead o dieting.... it will last forever

    Good luck!

    seems like what your doing is getting results so i say stick at it! but i agree with the above poster that you should mix it up a bit, one day eat 1200 or so, then eat 1800 or so. or your metabolism will even out and the loss will slow.
    other than that, great work! 5lb in a month is awesome!

    do you do any regular exercise?

    Bro, losing 5 pounds in a month is awesome, dont believe all those magazines saying "6weeks to a new you!" You are losing at a good pace man, keep it up. This stuff takes time, there is no quick fix.

    I would say keep doing what you are doing. I would be thrilled to lose 5 pounds in a month. For me it's more like a pound a month, and I am exercising every day and eating no more than 1400 calories a day.

    for weight lifting you should give your muscles a day off. Most people do upper body one day and then lower body the next. You still get to do the weights daily, but at the same time you are giving your muscles time to rest and repair themselves. And since you are doing so much with the weightlifting, make sure you are getting enough protein, it's helps to rebuild the muscles.
