The version of the Budwig diet that I read included tons of veggies, plus you could eat potatoes, cream cheese, fruits, nuts, and some breads and cereals. It did seem pretty restrictive in terms of other protein sources...
I wonder if whey protein isolate would be legit on this - may not have been around when this diet was developed?

I've been following a fairly restrictive diet that does, actually, have cottage cheese as one of the "ok things". I've been able to cleverly dress it up in different ways so I forget I'm eating the same thing again and again! But it does take some planning to do this and I agree, it would be tough to have this be your only source of protein. Who knows, maybe we could get to crave it like dark chocolate. Well, maybe not...

Basically, yes it looks like you would definitely have to shop the "perimeter" of the store (except for maybe pickles)!

For me, I see this as something that I can incorporate into my diet, I already eat lots of these sorts of things...I will definitely add the flaxseed, but I'm not ready to go "meatless" yet...

All things in moderation...except flaxseed...
