For the time being, I'm getting plenty of vegetable protein and lots of my fat from vegetable sources (mainly avocados and olive oil). I think juice fasts are usually pretty strict about protein (as in its a no-go for the Orthodox juice faster), but I have thought about modifying the plan to include protein. I saw long-term fasting tips for some political group--Code Pink, maybe?--and they recommended some sort of powdered protein smoothie to keep your protein levels up. The juice fasting people claim that the lack of protein forces your body to eat up your fatty tissues, which is what juice fasting is all about.
I just don't know. For now, its a rather boring vegetarian diet (I do best on boring meal plans when I'm trying to reduce) and lots of coffee. Oh, and cigarettes. Love my cigarettes.
