They are telling me to do 70% - Protein ( 2 grams per pound of bodyweight 20% - Fat 10% - Carbs It seems to be a little exsessive I'm just wondering how I'm to take in that much protein I'm about 345lbs Are there protein products that can give me the amount i need? or is this diet a joke? any help would be great.

You can substitute regular food with MRPs that contain 40+ grams of protein per serving. Not sure if you want to go 2 grams per pound of bodyweight as it will be difficult to just maintain 1 gram per pound. Good luck... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
