This is really my ideal diet and I'm working my way towards it.
Has anyone tried it?

Sounds interesting. For a few months now, I've been considering doing a 180 on my current diet, some time soon I'm going to have to make the switch.Originally Posted by goldenchild9
You get an abundance of vitamins and minerals eating raw fruits and veggies and your body only needs a small amount of proteins.
Still you can get a lot of high quality amino-acids in the diet if you're into bodybuilding or feel the need for excess protein. Pound for pound, Spirulina has some of the highest protein content in the food world.
I find the hardest part to be finding fresh fruit and veggies at work, turning down cooked food at social events and eating enough to stay satisfied.
I haven't really gone all the way in yet though but from my ventures in the diet.lifestyle, it has been extremely rewarding.
Ate watermelons and cantaloupes for breakfast everyday for a week and only fruits and nice salads throughout the day...on the 4th or 5th day...felt like I emptied everything that was in my intestines/colon. Felt like a new man after that.
I have some much more energy and alertness when I stick to this diet, plus fruit is my favorite food anyway....The perfect meal.

When a high dietary protein intake is consumed, there is an increase in urea excretion, which suggests that amino acid oxidation is increased.[sup][14][/sup] High levels of protein intake increase the activity of branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase.[sup][14][/sup] As a result, oxidation is facilitated, and the amino group of the amino acid is excreted to the liver.[sup][14][/sup] This process suggests that excess protein consumption results in protein oxidation and that the protein is excreted.[sup][14][/sup] The body is unable to store excess protein.[sup][14][/sup][sup][19][/sup] Protein is digested into amino acids, which enter the bloodstream. Excess amino acids are converted to other usable molecules by the liver in a process calleddeamination. Deamination converts nitrogen from the amino acid into ammonia, which is converted by the liver into urea in the urea cycle. Excretion of urea is performed by the kidneys. These organs can normally cope with any extra workload, but, if a kidney disease occurs, a decrease in protein will often be prescribed.[sup][2[/sup] Furthermore, as noted, protein provides the body with 4 calories per gram, and when there is excess protein intake, the body will utilize as much of it for energy as possible.[sup][2][/sup] After that stage, the body will produce fat from the excess protein, turning it into fat cells
of course EXCESS protein will be broken down to be used as energy, and excess calories, whether or not they come from protein, can be stored as fatOriginally Posted by goldenchild9

No it doesn't.
High protein diets are being exposed as the cause of a lot of the diseases that plague American's today.
Research has shown that only about 25% of the protein that the average American intakes, is absorbed by the body. The rest is eliminated in your waste.
And if you require extra protein for bodybuilding reasons, there are an abundance of natural sources.
