Wow. I wouldn't make it a week on that diet! Once in a while I can eat
that much protein but normally it makes me feel unwell to eat that much. I
have never been able to get any kind of shake down and keep it down. If I
try to swallow it, it comes right back up. 4 pieces of fruit would be
difficult for me to eat too. I probably eat that much in 6 months or a
year. And the veggies would be too hard for me to digest.
