Most vegetables have negligible protein, I think... wait, wow! The USDA site says 2/3 cup spinach contains three and a half grams of protein! The couple of vegetables I looked at all had about 80% as much protein as "carbs by difference."

I hit all my protein/net carb/fat numbers numbers as long as I counted only the animal protein, and it came to about 2000 calories, FWIW. I was still hungry all day though.

That's why I'm not sure I could do this diet. With so little protein AND less fat at the beginning, I think I'd starve. And that's not something I'm willing to do. |
