High fat diet to lose weight

[gjohnson5]

The diet I am doing consists mainly of eggs, meat, chicken, fish, walnuts, flaxseed oil, protein powder and whole milk.
I have no allowance for fruit or vegetables in the current configuration, so I will get a good multi-vitamin and vitamin c.
I will check progress every couple of weeks and see how things go... if it doesn't work or I don't feel like I should - i'll stop.

Current bodyfat is around 15% and mass is around 175lb.

Correct.

The reason people are fat is because they cannot follow a strict diet. Then they do now work out with high enough intensity... I hate to be repeating something njripped said, but unfortunately , he is correct.

I would say that you need a better understanding of fats , so I will explain further
1. monounsaturated fats - olive oil , hazelhuts , cashews , peanuts , sesame seed , macademia nuts , pecans , some fish. Generally these will be either omega 3 or omega 9 fatty acids

2. Polyunsaturated fats - Safflower , Sunflower , flax , corn , soy , seafood
These will be mostly omega 6
Note that polyunsaturated fats lower both LDL and HDL

Use polyunsaturated fats with less or equal amounts of monounsaturated fats to level this effect out

3. Saturated fats. medium chain triglyceride , coconut oil
The topic you will find is that saturated fats raise cholesterol. You will find that coconut oil actually lowers it. Infact , coconut is probably the healiest thing you can put in your mouth!!!

Note that alot of the web pages that say saturated fats are bad for you are sponsored by companies that sell vegetable oil... This cannot be considered an unbiased source.

There is quite a bit of evidence that suggests that higher fat diets 50-60% are actually better for athletic performance and better for your overall health. There have been studies comparies the average populations of pacific islanders to Americans and I bet you know what the results were... That Americans suck...

What is currently being practiced is unhealthy and causes the populations go be fat. We are now seeing this with schools removing soda machines from thier premises. Enough said
Eat more fats.
