Better watch your caloric intake. If you starve, this month tuna-binge will screw you up.
Expect to gain weight from the lack of carbohydrates once this is over.

If you can handle the taste of tuna for that long you can do this. The mercury might mess with you a bit but that is debateable. But the combination and the protein and the healthy fats contained in fish is actually not a horrible choice. The issues you will probably encounter will be problems with your breath and your sweat smelling like fish. The oils in fish bring with them a very strong odor. I suggest buying a good digestive enzyme blend and taking it before each meal. Don't worry if the label suggests taking 2 caps 3 times a day max or whatever. You can't O.D. on digestive enzymes and you will be putting incredible stress on the enzymes responsible for breaking down protein and fat. In other words you will not have enough of those enzymes naturally to keep up.
If you could change up and add in an ounce of cheese with each meal you would actually be following a diet that is used to lose body fat and raise testosterone. With just the tuna you will be still a bit low in fat to maintain proper brain function and have enough calories for energy. The cheese will provide some calcium and another source of fat to be used for energy.
You could really hurt yourself over this month. Vitamins and minerals are pretty important you know. What is you plan regarding your multivitamin? What brand and how much are you planning on taking?

I'd rather go on an all salmon diet. Salmon makes you strong like bear. Plus, in CA, the salmon population is dipping dangerously low supposedly so that fact makes the salmon extra delicious.

White Man,
If you want, I can borrow my parents' truck, then take you to Costco and purchase pallate upon pallate of canned tuna. Should make for a good scene at the checkout!

Ok, I just spent nearly 50 bucks on tuna at the QFC.
It's a good mix of albacore, chunk light, tuna,both cans and pouches, and a couple pouched tuna steaks. I kind of randomly filled up the cart. I also brought a brick of Tillamook sharp cheddar.
The cashier was a bit puzzled, but he didn't say anything.
When are you free?
EDIT: Also, for the sake of this contest, SKYY vodka equals either tuna, water, or apple juice, and I will drink at least 6oz of it a night.

I am seriously considering joinging you on this, White Man. The only problems I have are, I don't think I can afford it, and I CAN'T eat tuna just plain. I gotta put some mayo on there to make it easier on the pallet.

I could actually see myself going on some sort of a similar diet just for fun (of course, I'd make sure bread for sandwich material was an option), but all this mercury and vitamin talk is scaring me

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
My dads friend ate nothing but tuna for 2 weeks because he needed to lose wieght to fit into a tux. It worked really well actually, he lost quite a bit of weight by eating just canned tuna!
