How long could you last on the Harvard Complete diet? It supposedly provides all the nutrients you need.

Breakfast: 8 ounces nonfat yogurt with a cup of papaya and kiwi and 14 walnut halves

Lunch: 1 small whole-wheat pita with a green salad including 1 cup of dark green lettuce, a red pepper, 1 cup of tomatoes, ½ cup edamame, and unsalted sunflower seeds sprinkled on top. You can add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and pepper as dressing.

Dinner: 4 ounces broiled wild salmon with a yogurt sauce. On the side, a ½ cup of barley and lentils with a cup of steamed asparagus or baby bok choy.

Along with water one could probably live for an indefinite period of time until they died of something else.

You can live a good 80 years being malnourished for your entire adulthood. You will just be weaker, stupider, less attentive, more tired, and generally be in a worse mood than otherwise.

That is acceptable, provided they are properly activated.

You don't halve all your walnuts before eating them?

>Harvard Study Says You Can Get All Your Nutrients From This Simple 1-Day Meal Plan
Yet the actual Harvard link here:
https://www.health.harvard.edu/womens-health/getting-your-vitamins-and-minerals-through-diet
A) Isn't a study and
B) Isn't even proposing the meal plan whoever wrote that first link came up with.
All that Harvard link mentions relevant to meal planning is a list of foods that are "nutrient dense:"
>For those trying to keep down the calories while making sure they get the vitamins and minerals they need, here are some nutrient-dense foods*:
>Avocados
>Chard, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach
>Bell peppers
>Brussels sprouts
>Mushrooms (crimini and shiitake)
>Baked potatoes
>Sweet potatoes
>Cantaloupe, papaya, raspberries, strawberries
>Low-fat yogurt
>Eggs
>Seeds (flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower)
>Dried beans (garbanzo, kidney, navy, pinto)
>Lentils, peas
>Almonds, cashews, peanuts
>Barley, oats, quinoa, brown rice
>Salmon, halibut, cod, scallops, shrimp, tuna
>Lean beef, lamb, venison
>Chicken, turkey
>*Foods that have a lot of nutrients relative to the number of calories.

tl;dr There is no "Harvard Complete Diet" and OP is a lying faggot.
The diet is from some random lady named Robin Camarote who made up a study to give her ideas more clout I guess.
