For the record, it isn’t the V-Diet simply because you match the daily kcal totals and use the same workout plan.
I don’t know how what kind of results you can expect because I’ve never really heard of anyone intentionally selecting a low protein diet.
Good luck though, hope you diet works well for you. Interesting idea, I’ll be following to see how it goes

It is not really a V-Diet. I just not think that drinking whey protein for 30 days ia healthy. Milk is acid forming food and not well digestible. And if we could get the same result WITHOUT whey feeling excelent ???

I didn’t watch the whole thing; I’ve seen plenty of general raw vegan fitness videos out there. While its not impossible to be a raw vegan and still carry mass it’s fucking hard. I think any human your size needs more than 1400 calories to be functional. If that’s just from vegetables, you also will need a wide fresh grown on good soil variety. You’re also going to wreck havoc on your GI.
Have you done anything like this before? What’s your background?

The 1400 cal is too low to thrive.It was meant to be similar to the V-diet. I will have to change it to at least 2000 - 2500 cal a day.
And the mejority of calories you get from carbs in fruit not veggies. Veggies are to keep alcaline. It is quite yummy.
And no, I haven`t done anything like this consistently enough to really see any results. I remember eating 100% raw for a week and havent seen any loss of muscle. I felt great also ;))

Well the V-Diet also has energy boosters in it if I remember correctly. HOT-ROX through out?

And what if it works better than V-Diet? You do not restrict calories and still lose fat;)
Short term …

I think it will work well enough for fat loss, but I wouldn’t expect to come out of the diet looking very muscular with the protein that low.
And wow, 400-425 grams of carbs is really high. I eat pretty high carb, weigh ~200lbs, and train heavy just about every day… and I’m still 50-75g below that. 400+grams of carbs on a cut just sounds really iffy to me. Any particular reason why you aren’t trying a vegan protein source?
I can understand if you don’t like the idea of most of your caloric intake coming from milk protein supplements, but I feel like you are taking it to the other extreme and going too heavy on carbs coming from fruit sources.

Well 400 cals from carbs might seem way too high. But if you are not eating any fat with it, it burns very clean and there is lot of free time for the body to cleanse itself.
