I've tried every "diet" known to man. I talked to a nutritionist at work and she had me on a diet very similar to the one you just mentioned. I tried it for 3 or 4 months. Despite my grocery bill being literally 300% higher, I also lost absolutely no weight, stayed hungry still, AND had to spend time preparing the meals (I hate cooking, I hate food preparation, I hate culinary arts, I think people who enjoy this type thing are weird  ).

I hate to trivialize your attempt, but 3 or 4 months isn't really long enough to really reap the rewards. You need to do it for as much as long as a year.
What are your sleep habits like? What is the quality?

It made no difference. Except my stomach was always upset and I had to go to the bathroom every day but very little would come out (when I was down to 1500 cals a day, I went to the bathroom once every 2 weeks).

I hope you're kidding. You were only taking a dump once ever two weeks? Is that even possible?
I don't know why your stomach as upset.... maybe you were sensitive to some of the foods that were new to you? You should have found out what was triggering it, if possible. But going to the bathroom everyday
is normal. People are different, but some of us have two or three movements a day (like me), while others have two or three a week. But once every two weeks? That sounds problematic.

And I don't really follow a weight routine. I just go on my break at work and do arms or chest or legs that day. Nothing serious.

You might want to formalize it to ensure you are actually getting the most out of it. When done properly, weight training can burn a hell of a lot of calories. But if you're not eating enough of the proper foods, it won't do a hell of a lot. In speaking with personal trainers, it's often the case that people who want to exercise and lose weight run into an odd problem: they're not eating enough.
