Would this be a complete diet or is anything essential missing?

What research have you done to try to answer this yourself?

Soya milk is low in Iron. One might also be worried about B12 on this diet.
What works for 1 person may or may not work for everyone. The bodies uptake of nutrients is different for everyone.
I would be concerned about iron deficiency.

@Jodo, how about we let the OP do some research on his own before we do it for him? I see you are fairly new here. Keep in mind that our job here is not to spoon feed answers but to teach people how to get answers for themselves. This OP has simply asked a question and has not yet shown that he has made any attempt to get an answer himself (other than asking us to do it for him).

That was a concern for me too. Soya milk is fortified with B12. Prune juice, dried apricots and raspberries are higher in iron than other fruits.

And what else have you found out?

I would add a pinch of sea salt to the soya milk for electrolyte replenishment. That's it so far.

So, your answer is yes, with small additions to the two things you originally mentioned? Getting you to state your research and your conclusions is like pulling teeth. Why not just tell us ALL of what you have found out so far and your conclusions?

Don't you think he did? His idea of "research" is asking us.

@skyshrimp Staying alive and being healthy aren't the same thing, how long can you survive on such a limited diet? How much longer would you live on a healthy diet? How much immunity to disease would such a restrictive diet give you? These are things you should look into.
