    Good Luck with your idea of eating 80% of your meals from Veggies and Fruits, then 10% lean protein and 10% healthy fat---no, i haven't done this but it seems to be a great balance of healthy and nutritious foods, this message board post will give you some supportive MFP friends, once again GL:

    Amen.

    Was there a prayer? I want to see the 94/3/3 diet and folks posting how improved their blood work was prior to starting the diet. OP best of luck on this awesome diet. Be prepared to cut and slice a lot of foods, all the best.

    The body needs healthy fat and protein to function. I can't see this diet being sustainable, especially if there is any exercise involved. You will be crying for basic nutrients. I would not recommend going below 20% fat (heathy fats, like avocado, fish oil, olive, etc) and 20% protein at a bare minimum. You need to synthesize all sorts of enzymes, hormones, steroids, neurotransmitters, etc. and you will likely become ill if you do not feed the body what it is genetically programmed to require.

    Balance, not extremes, leads to health. I say this not only as someone who is on my own path to fitness, but as a preventive medicine physician.

    The body needs healthy fat and protein to function. Its science.
