Protein requirements are overstated in my experience. I’m eating 50-60g a day and gaining muscle. Carbohydrates spare protein requirements. So on a high carb, low fat diet - one can eat less protein. I find it cheaper and more enjoyable to eat this way. My digestion is better and so is my energy.how do you get enough protein if you don't eat either meat or dairy though? If I'm not eating more meat I tend to eat more dairy to compensate for protein losses.

You have a great physique if that's you in the pic. What sources are you getting your protein from? And how many grams of sugar/starch do you eat per day? Also do you know what your testosterone levels are
I'm mostly vegan at the moment and I feel much more warm and "anabolic" then ever. I always felt cold eating the basic "Peat-style" protein sources. I don't even think about protein anymore, but I get 50-80g a day. My digestion, appetite, libido, mental clarity are the best they've ever been. I love eating this way. Lots of potatoes, pasta, rice, juice.Protein requirements are overstated in my experience. I’m eating 50-60g a day and gaining muscle. Carbohydrates spare protein requirements.

So basically you are doing a transition type diet just as Ehret advises because going straight to fruit will move things too fast and cause discomfort(teeth ouchies due to lymph and possibly sulfur on the move) due to the yuge amount of obstructions that need to clear.I'm beginning to experiment with a high carb but low starch approach. I've noticed that most starches are problematic, and even the safest one, white rice, causes congestion and mucus formation when I overconsume it. I've also noticed that starch causes the blood sugar to take a wild rollarcoaster ride, which leads to the insatiable hunger and never feeling satisfied. Not too mention the inevitable crash after a heavy starch meal, and my observational experience has lead me to conclude that starch is a rather poor food to form the base of the diet with.
The problem is that fruit is also a poor food to form the base of the diet. It quickly leads to tooth sensitivity and frequent urination, which is no fun...
So where does that leave me?
Vegetables....In a new turn of events, I have begun making large amounts of steamed vegetable medley.
1) I used to hate how vegetables tasted, all of them. They were absolutely atrocious to me, HOWEVER, something about steamed vegetables COMPLETELY changes the taste profile, so that even nasty sulphorous broccoli and kale are incredibly tasty, and I actually look forward to eating them with some salt.
2) Steamed carrots and squashes provide calories where green veggies just wont create satiation.
3) The kale and broccoli is adding some dense micronutrients, which is clearing up my cognition significantly.
3) I am able to handle much more coffee now with the vegetables (I make a skim milk latte with maple syrup)
4) Fish and eggs provide protein and dense calories when I feel like it is needed.
My bloat is quickly going away, and I imagine all the anti-estrognic effects of the vegetables plus the lack of inflammation from starch is contributing to me quickly slimming down. My mother has commented on how much slimmer I look, and I've only done this for 2 days. This has lead me to conclude that a large portion of my chubby appearance is due to the water retention and bloating effect of starches. Not too mention I feel in general much lighter, and all I have to do is eat consume fruit/sugar and I instantly have a large amount of energy to go on runs and workouts. When consuming large starch meals I'd constantly feel heavy and depressed, and I'd have to force myself to workout.
I'll occasionally eat a little bit of white rice with some mushrooms, as I think it's negative effects are limited when not consumed in large amounts and with a large amount of vegetables.
Some people may be able to thrive on starches, however, a metabolically compromised individual with ***t digestion will not succeed on a high starch diet.
tl;dr Try steamed veggies with salt. Complete game changer, they taste awesome, may just change your life.

My blood sugar feels crazy steady while eating loads and loads of starch. Skipping a meal feels easier than ever and I feel great and satisfied after a meal. Different strokes for different folks. :-0I've also noticed that starch causes the blood sugar to take a wild rollarcoaster ride, which leads to the insatiable hunger and never feeling satisfied.
