Thus far, I have achieved both of these goals, and right now I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. My energy levels are high, I'm as flexible now as I was in elementary school, and most importantly it's helped with my confidence and self esteem.

I don't understand how you can consider a single meal combined with coffee, tea, apples and oranges a high-protein diet.
Unless you had no muscle mass to begin with it is unlikely that you're gaining muscle while losing fat.
