Protein Diet????

[STRACER]

I am kinda new to the protein dieting thing. So, I have a few questions.

What are some foods that I should eat and some I should stay away from?

Is this the best diet to lose fat with?

I would like several options here so guys don't be shy and let all suggestions fly.

My specs are 5'-7" & 215 lbs. I would like to get down to around 170 or 180.

What do I need to do?

Please help.

What are are some foods I can eat besides the ones testalot listed here. Can I eat any kind of beans or rice or anything? Please give me some examples of food I can eat.

Testalot also said to cut down the carbs........beans and rice are very high carb foods. Your diet 100% depends on what kind of diet you want to go on. Like how strict do you want to be with yourself and do you want to do high protein/no carb/moderate to high fat or high protein/moderate barbs/low-moderate fat.

I am doing about 250 grams of protein a day/20-30g carbs/<100g fat. It is working well for me right now.

Looking at your stats and not knowing how much bf% you are I would go no carbs and moderate to high fat. It seems like you have a lot of fat to burn so this diet you will burn that fat off really fast. Once you get to around 15% BF you will probably have to change things up a little and ad a refeed day or something.

I would just look around on the board for more info. Take a look at Crumcakes diet and see if you an follow it. The cardio is probably important, but I think just the diet/workouts will benefit you greatly.

Hmmm, well if you want to lose, then I'd prefer to not play games and just drop carbs altogether. I eat just meat for three days and then a normal day to keep the metabolism working. After a couple weeks on it, the diet won't effect you at all and you'll lose weight like you have a disease. Be sure to eat about 5 or 6 mealks a day and get a vitamin supplement and a calcium supplement to eaat with every meal. Calories first, carbs second, you ALWAYS have to have your calories.
