There isn't a credible nutritionist in the world that would tell you losing that much weight that fast is healthy.
Fruits and vegetables contain a substantial amount of protein, i was meeting the rda req. with just fruit consumption alone most the time. I should have added that i ate nuts and seeds aswell but i could have easily got all the protein i needed from fruits/veg.

Nutrition science is outdated imo, losing that much weight would have only been dangerous if i was starving myself (which i wasn't, easily ate 3000 cals a day). I wouldn't recommend a completely fruit, veg, seed diet long term but i think at least 60-80% of your food consumption should be whole fresh uncooked foods(i.e fruits/veg)
