Hi @Luke! It’s possible, but I doubt he would exclude plant protein because he said that the keto acids in plants are “the equivalent of the essential amino acids” and that, for example, “potato protein is better than egg yolk,” and “two pounds of well-cooked mashed potato has the protein value similar to a liter of milk, about 33 grams of protein.”
Add to that, his response when asked how he arrived at the 50 g was that “it’s hard to eat less because even with the juices, as you reach a gallon of orange juice, your protein is going up considerably” and “you have to somewhat limit your milk and cheese and egg intake” so it seems to me he was factoring in plant protein, but I could be wrong.
I suspect the bulk of his calories came from fruit juice, since he mentioned a gallon of OJ in several interviews, and I averaged 50 g of protein (and 3,000 calories) on the fruitarian diet. What I’m wondering is how he kept his protein that low, or if he did, when he experimented with the vegetable diet and suffered spastic dystonia of the throat and vocal cords.
Haha! Thankfully, she was a French woman who also ate Cantonese and Polynesian food. I’m not sure if it was as good as the real thing, but my mum and I found her a coconut-based ice cream that she really liked.
