I actually boxed competitively and for years ate nothing but fruit, nuts, raw fish, raw egg yolks, with most fat and calories coming from cold pressed olive oil and avocados. It was the easiest way to stay in my weight class, and feel great. You actually don't need that much protein if it is raw. Cooking denatures proteins and oxidizes cholesterol (the largest component of your brain after water and the primary substance of cell membranes). I typically ate 6 ounces of sashimi grade raw fish and 6 raw egg yolks per day. Most of my calories came from fat as the carbohydrate density of fruit is rather low. Brazil nuts actually have an amino acid profile superior to most meats with respect to human requirements.
You need animal food for the cholesterol (humans only make 1/3 to 1/2 what they require, with females requiring more) and certain vitamins like B12.
Diet is a contentious topic, though I have studied it intensely. I will say that one should avoid any foods that contain casein from dairy products or gluten from wheat and other grains. Both are decomposed into opioid peptides that are, on a milligram per milligram basis often stronger than morphine. There is a whole industry of modifying casein as a flavor enhancer, which is why it is found in most junk food. You can always try the smell test. There is a reason pizza parlors vent their ovens onto the street. Put a slice of pizza on one table and a bowl of pineapple and watermelon on the other, and see which one you crave after smelling it. One is addictive the other is not. There are literally dozens if not hundreds of medical journal articles on PubMed going back to the 1970s about casein and gluten being decomposed into morphine like peptides, which to this day amazes me that it is not commonly known.
In any event, we're talking about the OP who is a girl. No girl really wants to get fat, and every girl wants to be pretty. I'd rather make a quick comment than have her go back to meth just to stay thin. Especially in Sydney where there are few fat girls and beach culture rules.
Also, interestingly, low blood plasma levels of cholesterol is the only known biological predictor of suicide in humans. We require a lot more of it than other animals given our brain size versus body size. Women require even more as the uterus lining that is ejected during menstruation is highly dense in cholesterol - it is there in the event of pregnancy to allow for rapid production of cells in the fetus. Postpartum depression, and female depression in general, is mostly attributable to cholesterol deficiency. Oxysterols, caused by heat damaging dietary cholesterol such that oxygen binds to the points where lipids normally would go, hence making them "low density", are not usable by your body (or if you are a woman, your actual or potential fetus).
