Al Short
Teaching an Old Dog Old Nutrition Tricks. Within one week my weight was at 211 and
my body fat had dropped amazingly to 5.5%. Imagine that, gaining weight and losing
fat simultaneously. No new fangled hyped-up supplements just beef liver and aminos
Tommie Robertson's

Tommie's Nutrition Program
High protein low carb diet.
As I Modified my diet I increased my fat intake to at least 10% of my total calories, I began to use Flax Oil and added two egg yolks to my daily portion of whites. At this time my protein intake was between 360 to 420 grams daily.
A Straight-forward Guide to Protein
An excellent article to answer the question "how many grams of protein should I eat in a day". Protein in large amounts, 1.5 to 2 grams per
pound of body weight maxes out the amino acid content of the muscles, giving them a
harder, fuller appearance. Your hormonal system also gets involved, switching over
from fat storing to a fat burning mode through the release of the hormone glucagon.
This fat burning hormone released in response to a greater protein/carbohydrate ratio
in your diet. You could simply lower carbohydrates, but you'd lose a lot of muscle.
