talk to a Registered Dietician or pick up a textbook on nutrition (NOT a fad diet book, an honest to goodness educational textbook).

The Gracie Diet is completely without scientific merit. Harsh but true. There are worse diets for the training athlete, such as Atkins, but as far as some of the claims go, there is nothing at all to substantiate some of the Gracie Diet claims. Purely anecdotal. If you want to try it for kicks it's a free country, but honestly you'd be better off consulting a nutritionist with an actual educational background in nutrition (a RD for example) to get an idea of what type of high performance training diet would be appropriate.
