Hmmm I'm afraid to say no that it's NOT a genius diet. Why? not enough proteins and not eating enough.
You should eat at least 5 times daily.
Eat some oats with egg whites (and an orange or apple) in the mornings. Keep the banana with a protein shake just after work out.
Pretzels at nights? Hmmmm change it with another good protein shake (before bed time) and maybe a few almonds or nuts.

Are you eating anything else in between? Are you eating only 3 meals per day? What about protein drinks...taking any of those?
Just because you're trying to lose weight, that doesn't mean you should only eat 3 meals a day. You should eat 5-6 meals a day and incorporate some meal replacements/protein drinks. Otherwise, you're forcing your body to "starve" in between meals (there's 6-8 hours in between lunch and dinner). When your body does not get properly nourished, it goes after your muscle for energy! Keep your protein intake high...it doesn't look like you're getting enough from what you have listed.
Hope this helps...

Yes, you can still lose weight by eating 5-6 small meals per day. All you are doing is really spreading your meals more evenly throughout the day. This allows your body to maximize its consumption of the nutrients necessary to maintain your muscle mass while losing weight. Keep your protein intake high (yes, continue with the protein shakes), but lower your overall calorie intake. You may have to experiment a little with total calorie consumption.
Losing 20 pounds in 2 months is great! Keep that up. Just make sure you don't starve your body. Remember, if your body needs energy and can't find it in foods, it will go after your muscle!
