Does this sound sustainable and effective?

Would appreciate thoughts on the following as a sustainable and effective daily diet. I've been following this since the beginning of the year and have lost a stone. I'm hoping that it will continue to work for me as I'd like to lose at least 2 more over the next 4-4.5 months (I have a holiday booked for then).

Not sure if this will continue to be effective as the loss has slowed down over the last 2 weeks, so perhaps the initial loss was water etc, and maybe this won't be effective. It's basically low cal, and lowish carb.

Any thought would be welcome:

Breakfast 40g oats w/ skimmed milk. Sometimes with a small banana.

Lunch is boiled egg, thin bagel, scraping of flora.

Dinner is fish/chicken/with veg. Mainly cauli/broccoli. Occasionally homemade chilli/bolognese but never with rice or potatoes, always veg only.

Snacks are the odd apple, orange or a handful of skinny popcorn.

No alcohol.

Averaging about 1000 cals a day. The repetitiveness doesn't concern me, I just don't want to waste my time if it doesn't look effective. Thanks so much,

Seems fine. My only suggestion is your vegetable portions. You're probably having 2 or 3 veg portions with your evening meal and that's it. No vegetables with lunch or breakfast.

You could have hummus as spread on your begal instead if flora. Or roasted pepper/vegetable mushed up and no spread.

I'd also say that breakfast and lunch are both carb-heavy. I'd only have a carb based meal as 1 meal a day max, often days without any carb part of the meal. Yours isn't a lowish carb diet as you mention.
