15*3500 calories = 52,000 calories.
Comment as-tu eu un déficit de 52,000 calories en une semaine?
Let me guess... Tu t'es pesé un soir avant de te coucher après avoir bien mangé et l'autre un matin, ben déshydrate en aillant peu mangé la veille?
Si tu réponds non, tu te contes des mensonges.

yes cause it's mainly water, not fat. Also weight always have to be counted with a + or - 5lbs variation, so it would me more 10lbs of water and glycogen reserves that you lost. Also, it's physiologically impossible to loose fat or muscle in 5 days, except if you do a Full Ironman or ultra endurance.
I also never said that you would die if you loose quickly some weight. I'm just refuting most of sciences researches on it and what I'm studying in school.

If you do start losing LBM, you lose weight FAAAAST though!! Only 600 cal/lb 
As cassard said, you really gotta drive yourself into hell training-wise first though.

Isn't that the definition of a diet?
If I don't eat less I don't loose fat plain and simple. I've been loosing and regaining weight for the past 5 years. I run 6.5km and train 3 times a week and if I don't cut on my portions, nothing happens
Unfortunately I always gain it back in the winter.

That's a weight-loss diet. You can also have a maintenance diet or a weight-gain diet.
Your diet is just stuff you eat.
Diet impact hormones/thyroid.
If you dont eat any fat , good luck getting ripped and retaining muscle.
Keep Protein high, Medium fats and low carb for Optimal body composition.
Protein = Keep muscle
Fats= Keep testosterone high
Low carbs= Growth hormone elevated, accelerated Fat loss
Dont based your weight loss as the goal, You Should Try to lose bodyfat, Not weight!
Weight doesnt mean jack shit, Muscle and bodyfat does.

Everybody needs fuel, low carbs for life is not good. It really depends. You want to eat enough fast carbs depending on your activity level so your body does not get the good idea to eat your muscle for fuel.

By definition a Diet is a "plan" of different nutritional steps or things to do (what to eat, what not to eat, when, how, etc) for a clear ad precise purpose. Having a lower calories intake than your outtake isn't a diet in itself if you keep the way you are eating the same. Maybe in english you could call it like that, but in french : une diete, c'est un programme nutritionnel. Like Paleo, Keto, High carbs, Low carbs, High protein.
So what you are doing is good, but cutting your portions if you want weight loss. Also, depending on your goals, your training can be ajusted, either at the gym or on the run. I don't question the quality of your training (since I have no idea what you are doing) and I don't know your goals.
Also, you have to consider that weight loss or gain depends on many facts : quality of sleep, exercice, stress, food and many more. Also, if you are in between 25 to 40 years old, your metabolism change a lot and your hormonal status also. 5 years is a lot of change and you always have to do some minor ajustment.
