I eat a perfectly normal Dominican meal three times a day, work out too and have perfect weight loss result?

I drink Hot chocolate and bread in the morning. Platanos (plantains) with eggs or salami or cheese for lunch. And, rice and beans with meat or chicken, spaghetti's or any other combination of food. I eat exactly how I used to eat in DR. And, since I've gotten fat again and I'm losing that weight, I'm losing my usual 5 punds a week. This is how I normally ate when I weighed 183 in DR(I weigh 273 right now, I lost 8 pounds after running and playing basketball for 8 days also using the stationary bike in the gym). This is not exactly a low-fat diet..... I think.

Anyways, my question is; should I connect my weight lost with my age (17) and the metabolism I have, and of course the exercise? Because, whether I'm on a diet or not I lose the same amount of weight. Not including junk food though, I'm talking about home-made food. Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, you should connect your weight loss with your young age which gives you a fast metabolism and of course the excersize. Its hard to say weather or not your diet helped because I don't know what you used to eat, but if you used to eat fast foods and processed junk when you gained than yes, your home-cooked diet probably helped you. I would suggest switching a few things up though, like for breakfast eat some protein to keep you feeling full for the rest of the day (studies prove this works), for lunch stick with the eggs and not the salami or cheese as they are so high in fat, and make sure the spaghetti is whole wheat for dinner. And if the hot chocolate you have for breakfast is sugary, perhaps save calories by switching to sugar free? Congrats on your weight loss by the way, I agree that you should continue to avoid junk and stick with home-made holesomeness.
