Welcome Katie.  I would nix the fruits.  They contain a lot of fructose 
which is just as bad as sucrose.  Fruits have been bred to be sweeter 
than their ancestors.
When you say you will eat nothing but protein and the fat it contains 
you have it backward.  Get the fattiest cuts of meat you can find.  
Brisket is good, or ribeyes.  Eat the fat first, then eat the meat.  You 
can probably get fat trimmings from your butcher for free.  Eat fat 
until you are sated, then eat the meat.  I probably eat 10-12 oz fat and 
16 oz meat every day.  Don't worry about the 3 meals per day thing.  If 
you are hungry, eat.  If you are thirsty drink --- water.
Beware no-calorie, no-carb sweet drinks. 
Just my $.02
