You should google why low calorie diets don't work and see what they have to say about it.

I know that you don't feel like you are starving, but the bodies normal reaction to very low cal eating is that the body itself thinks that its starving and then it goes into starvation mode. Then it will not lose the weight you want it to or does very slowly. It s something in humanitites genes left over from cavemen days when they did not always have enough to eat and their bodies survived living off of their body fat and nutrients to survive.
Anyways: if you want to lose weight fast have you though of trying low carb? You can lose A LOT of weight on low carbing.
If you watch your carbs and eat no more than 20 grams per day, you can actually eat a lot and still lose tons of weight on it. That way your body won't go into "starvation mode" anymore and will just continue to lose weight. Give it a try for a week and you will see the awesome results. You eat only meats w/o starches, sugars or sauces on them, no fruit, milk, and only a small salad twice a day, lots of water and unsweetened teas and you will see big results. Good luck.
