How Tom Venuto got lean part 2

RAISE YOUR LEAN PROTEIN AND HEALTHY FATS
Conventional bodybuilding and fat reducing wisdom says you should eat one gram of protein per pound of body weight. This is good advice for someone just starting to establish good habits and a baseline nutrition plan. For a 172 pound man that;s 172 grams a day or 30 grams per meal spread over five to six meals.
Reducing carbs can give some metabolic and hormonal advantages for fat loss when done properly and not taken to an extreme. When you start to bring carbs down, something has to go up or your calories would drop too low and you would be losing a primary energy source. That something is lean protein and healthy fats.
Although many mainstream low carb diets ( Atkins) are actually high fat/very low carb diets, competitive bodybuilders usually keep the fats moderate at 20 to 30 percent. while eating extremely large amounts of protein.
High protein diets are one of the secrets that bodybuilders use to get so ripped. Eating very high protein speeds up your metabolism due to the thermic effect of protein foods.
