Ordered this book earlier today and will watch the movie tomorrow on Netflix. My diet is pretty good most of the time, but I like to weekend/holiday binge and that really kills me. My main fear has always been getting some of the essential vitamins and enough protein with this type of diet, without having to eat tons of Soy.

Currently I am pretty much back to the level of activity I was at pre Achilles tendon rupture last March. Strength training 4-5 times a week and 8+ miles on an eliptical trainer 5 times a week. Will probably resume Jiu Jitsu as well over the next couple of weeks, so obviously I want to maintain a good enough protein intake to feed my muscles.

Anybody doing this diet or something similar, but still using a whey protein supplement? I use Lean One from nutrition 53 for the aminos and various other things and was considering following this diet while keeping the Lean One as part of it.
