Of course, any respectable dietician doesn't respond well to 'I need to lose as much as possible in x time period'. It's just not healthy and sustainable.
Your body is telling you this. Your plateau, after a short, large weight loss is because your body thinks its starving and looks to preserve itself. If you want to continue to lose at an accelerated rate, you need to further reduce your caloric intake to the 800/day range and increase your physical output. Again, the catch is, as soon as you increase your cals and decrease your output, you'll be putting weight back on as your metabolism has been reset to a very low calorie diet.
Also, see a doctor!! Be honest as to what your doing and get some blood work done. These types of crash diets can kill you, literally. Probably not, but it's worth the trip to the doc to be sure.
