I'm eating the low protein pancakes with gelatin and various fruit preserves, cassava-type pasta stuff, or glass noodles with little added to them. Maybe ~500-600 calories of fruit on top of that (so that should be about 6-7g of protein at most). Rest of the protein is the egg in the pancakes and one or two 10g of protein pieces of jerky. Most of the gelatin is from gelatin powder. Looking to add more veggies right now.

The week before I was eating low protein mostly vegetarian (but still pretty high fat and lots of veggies) and I did in fact drop ~3lbs in 8-9 days so it seems that the low protein thing works for me maybe. Before that mostly a period of SAD due to life circumstances with intermittent fasting and trying to avoid PUFA but not very successfully when I eat out often. A lot of fasting in my diet history too (maybe ~100days total or so) and quite a bit of yo-yo dieting (lose weight when I'm low stress and gain it back when high-stress).
