Picture for nutritional info.
You’d become malnourished. You’re missing C, folate, iron, etc. you’d live, but you’d be sick and you’d have damaged your body.
It would probably take more than a month to show signs of malnutrition though, assuming OP is eating reasonably healthy currently.
Can I just eat a multivitamin with it
No. You’re not getting any fiber, this is a really shit idea.
How can the idea be shitty if it doesn't have enough fiber?
Only 960 kcal/day is a starvation diet.
Based on the label in the post, it'd be even worse than that, 750g would only be 720 kcal
Whoops!
Scurvy?
Cottage cheese is not a significant source of vitamin C, and scurvy symptoms begin to appear between 1-3 months of vitamin C deficiency.
some brain damage: malnutrition tends to aggravate or cause brain damage.
I'm a brain damage survivor: it sucks, it takes decades to undo ( neuroplasticity takes time to do rewiring ), and life is never going to be what it could have been.
Don't damage people's brains.
'tis a good rule, eh?

That's basically the Atkins diet (Keto) without enough nutrition. It'll function like a very short, very uncomfortable, malnourished crash diet.
You'll spend the first two weeks craving carbs and sugars like your life depends on it. It's awful. After that "break in" period, the cravings mostly go away.
But that's not all. So much as lick a piece of candy or chew on some bread, and you'll get a large dopamine rush followed by carb-craving mode again. If sheer willpower and deferred rewards are at all a problem for you, this might feel like one of the hardest things you've ever tried to do.
Edit: now that I remember, my grandma tried a "cottage cheese and grapefruit" fad/crash diet back in the 80's. Turns out that one has been doing the rounds for almost a century. IIRC, it doesn't work since it's easy to underestimate how insanely difficult this is to do.
Did keto for a while preparing for some on-camera work. I've never looked more cut and never been so miserable. 9/10 doctors do not recommend. The 10th one has an eating disorder.
I lost 40lbs on keto and after the first week of keto flu, I felt great. No sugar crashes, no energy level drops and overall, more energy than usual. I stopped after six weeks as I couldn’t deal with the lack of flavour and texture in the food I was eating. I reached a good weight that I've maintained, 7 years later.
One thing it taught me, was to reduce the amount I eat and to balance things out if I eat more carbs than usual.
I agree on those stats. Don't forget: Atkins himself died from heart disease. But hey, at least you have the pics to prove it.
Were it me, the potential for humor would be impossible to ignore:
Me: "This diet is miserable, don't do this."
Also me: shows pics looking more shredded that a bowl of mini-wheats
For real, back when I did keto, cottage cheese with hot sauce was half of my diet.
I feel you. Hard cheese, bacon, and pickled eggs were my go-to. Anything with strong flavors. I did that for about a year and then stopped once I hit my weight goal.
In the middle of all that, I noticed that vegetables started to taste sweet as they do contain small amounts of sugar. Especially cabbage. I kind of miss that.
A workaround I employed was to eat lots of kimchi. Fermented foods like that contain sugar alcohols which taste sweet(ish), but are not digestible as such.
Been on keto for a decade with breaks here and there. Currently two pounds below goal weight. Feel great and blood numbers are excellent. Changed my life.
I have done something like this. You will feel like hell and depending how vitamin deficient you are you could end up in the hospital. When I did it I just bounced back within a few months so it was not worth it.
If you are trying to lose weight counting calories over a long period helped me lose about 50lbs. Just try to stay in weight loss range and exercise for 30 min a day to burn some calories
Nah, I'm more looking for a way to eat cheap for a month (maybe two) while still getting enough protein that I don't start wasting. Food is expensive, and dairy here is also expensive, but a months worth of cottage cheese is cheaper than a months worth of any meat. I'll see if I can move some things around in my budget to get a more wholesome diet, though.
Dried beans. Their cheap AF. Nutritious AF. I make up a pot of soup every couple of days. Soak you beans the night before. Boil next day.
Start a new pot off with butter. Sauteed up onion, carrot, and/or celery(all cheap AF, all optional). Add In meat if you like. Sear outsides but don't worry about cooking all the way through. Add chicken stock (or water) and boiled beans. Simmer covered 30 min-ish. Add in frozen spinach, cook another 5. Salt and season to taste.
Congrats! You just made a pot of bomb ass soup. For like 3$! You can eat for days off that pot. Delicious AND nutritious. Your gut likes variety, give it to it.
Try potatoes. They're ridiculously cheap (where I am) and loaded with nutrients.
That's actually where I draw the line, unfortunately. Potatoes are cheap here as well but everything about them makes me feel sick to my stomach. I might start baking bread though. If I were to make my own cottage cheese it should be cheaper than storebought and I could use the whey in place of water for added protein in the bread.
Lentils, rice, and beans together can form a very inexpensive but nutrient rich base for a lot of meals.
You'd become anemic from the lack of iron plus the blood loss from hemorrhoids due to lack of fiber.
Hemorrhoids is a preventable condition, you’re not supposed to sit there and push. Just get up and do drink water or eat fiber. Try hot coffee or warm milk or a yogurt drink. No one needs to suffer from hemorrhoids at all, I am surprised there are still people who do. Should be a unit in middle school health classes to not force shitting
You are not permitted hot coffee, warm milk, or a yogurt drink. You are permitted 750g of cottage cheese, each day, for a month.
I’ll take death thanks 🙏
Got mine along with my first baby. Another example of blaming women for legitimate health issues?
Agree about fiber, but more specifically, psyllium fiber like metamucil, and vegetable fiber have positive effects whereas nuts or seeds, especially flax, tear it open and cause bleeding even if it's been healed for months. Yogurt can also be constipating, despite the claims of probiotics.
More to the point, there's zero fiber in cottage cheese.

Sorry to know that! I was only talking about hemorrhoids from forcing shitting. Didn’t know they could happen with child birth, but makes sense
someone just won a month's supply of cottage cheese.
Can't wait for chubbyemu to explain what happens to OP.
So I can't answer your question exactly, but, as many here know at this point, I have been suffering through an illness where I have not eaten any solid food since last August (please no medical advice). Before I got, with the help of doctors, settled on a liquid diet of 6 Ensures and 4 V8s a day, I lost 80 pounds- 260 to 180, I was dizzy and lightheaded all the time from the lack of electrolytes, and while I still don't have much energy and have to rest for a while after walking the dogs for half an hour, I couldn't even walk a couple of blocks.
That said, my blood panels show everything is normal, so I'm clearly not dying. It's not exactly a great quality of life, especially since our entire society is based around food in every conceivable way, but it is survivable. In fact, one good thing came out of it- I no longer have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, so I don't have to take pills to counteract those anymore.
I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. I can sort of imagine what you're going through, and it's certainly not fun, but it's probably not a 1:1 situation. I really hope you get better though.
You'd become severely deficient in key nutrients
do you get any supplemental liquid?
Why is there no serving per container? How many servings in this tub?
750 / 125 = 6
Couldn't fit the weight and nutrition data in the same image. Other comment is correct: 750g is 6 servings.
