High Protein/High Fat

I have about four weeks before the competition and to bump myself off a plateau I went back to the high protein/high fat diet that really worked for me twenty years ago.  I did it for about a week and it bumped me down a few pounds.  The higher fat diets do not work for everyone.  If you don't know what works for you then I suggest that you try three different diets, doing each one for a week and see how you feel and if you lose any fat.  The first diet to try is the high protein/modified carb diet, which was the first one I did this time around so you can check back a couple posts to see what that consists of.  The second one is lean protein/low carb and that is your typical protein and veggie diet, with maybe some oatmeal added in the morning.  The third one to try is high protein/high fat.  This is what a typical day looks like on that kind of diet:

8:00am
1.5 scoops whey protein
2 tablespoons peanut butter

11:00am
1.5 cans of tuna mixed with 2 tablespoons mayo
Large green salad with 2 tablespoons oil and vinegar dressing*
.5 cups nuts

2:00pm
8 ounces of steak
7-8 brussel sprouts* tossed in olive oil and roasted

5:00pm
8 ounces chicken (either white or dark)
.5 cups nuts
1 cup stir fried cabbage*

8:30pm
8 ounces grilled fish
Large green salad with 2 tablespoons oil and vinegar dressing*
.5 cups nuts

* you can eat as much green veggies as you want.

Again, the best way to find out what works for you is to experiment.  Don't be afraid of eating more fat.  Fat doesn't make you fat, sugar and refined carbohydrates do.  They fatten cows quickly by feeding them high glucose foods, not by feeding them fat.
