Is this diet healthy?

I am 18, 189lbs, 5ft 6in. I have been working out at the gym for 3 weeks now going on 4 and I am barely seeing any results and what I mean by that I stopped losing weight(I think). When I first started I was allegedly 191lbs. I do a mixture of cardio and weightlifting. I LARGELY cut back on sweets and drink tons of water, but may have a few slips here and there which is expected. I know weight loss doesn’t happen overnight, but I want to see some kind of results and soon. So I found this diet at my gym. Is this healthy?

1st WEEK:
EVERY DAY BREAKFAST:½ Grapefruit, 1 or 2 boiled or poached eggs, coffee or tea.
(ALL EGGS IN Diet EITHER BOILED OR POACHED)
MONDAY:
- Lunch:Same as breakfast.
- Dinner:Lean meat or fish, lettuce salad, 1 slice dry toast, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.

TUESDAY:
- Lunch:Same as breakfast.
- Dinner:Lean meat or fish, lettuce & tomato salad, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.

WEDNESDAY:- Lunch:1 or 2 eggs, spinach, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.
- Dinner:Lean meat or fish, lettuce, tomato & carrot salad, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.

THURSDAY:- Lunch:1 or 2 eggs, ½ cup carrots, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.
- Dinner:Lean meat or fish, lettuce salad, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.

FRIDAY:- Lunch:1 or 2 eggs, cabbage, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.
- Dinner:Broiled fish (NO BREADING), lettuce, tomato & carrot salad, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.
SATURDAY:- Lunch:FRESH fruit salad (NOT CANNED) EAT ALL YOU WANT!

SUNDAY:- Lunch:Diced chicken (NO SKIN) with chopped celery and green pepper, lemon juice or vinegar, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.
- Dinner:Broiled chicken (NO SKIN), lettuce salad, ½ grapefruit, coffee or tea.
SUBSTITUTIONS:The following may be substituted for "2 eggs" anywhere in the diet.
Choose only ONE when you substitute:
3 oz. lean beef, ½ cup salmon (water packed)
2 Frankfurters, 8 oz. Sardines (well drained and pat dry with paper towel)
1 small can tuna (water packed)
½ cup cottage cheese (Light n’ Lively preferred)
During 2nd
week ONLY
2nd WEEK:REPEAT 1ST WEEK

I am a bit skeptical because won’t the eggs cause me to have high cholesterol. Which I DO NOT HAVE right now.

this is a good diet to lose weight quick. I am doing this diet for 3 months but for drastic measures, it’s a diet that heart patients use to lose weight before surgery.

    I would measure your stomach and thighs. You could be losing inches. When you get leaner and gain more muscle, you gain weight, but you look thinner.
