Offseason with High Fat Diet

[Jacked!!!]

This question has come across my mind from time to time and ive always been curious as to what way the serious dieters out there would go. So ive decided to open a poll up asking what side of the coin do you usually follow in the offseason and have had the most success at...the High carb/Low fat approach or the oppposite, High fat/Low carb approx.

List your reason why u go the way you do. Im curious as to see what the responses will be

60+% fat
>10%carbs
30-35% protien

Im fully aware that low carb diets need to be high in fat and visa versa...ive competed in a handful of comps in the last few yrs so im not new to the game at all, my question was how do u find this approach compared to the usual high carb low fat

Adidas........where do your sources of fat come from? I would think you are getting to much saturated fat with that diet.

i like the way i feel compared to eatting starchy carbs all the time. i use to use traditional dieting methods for the longest time. but as of a few months ago i switched to this, and i like it better energy, strength and recovery wise.

i would say the bulk of my fats come from:
almonds 2oz (30g fat)

hazelnuts 2 oz (34g fat)

cheese 2oz (19g fat)

sausage (serving size) (14-24g depending on brand)

bacon (thick type 3-4 slices) (20-28g depending on brand)

whole eggs, large
(any were from 4-12 a day mostly hard boild some times raw if i tire of hard boiled) (any were from 20-60g depending on # i eat)

avacados (typically one whole one gives ya about 25g fat)

MCT oil (14g and its all sat fat) typically i have this on day i have pro shakes for breakfast)

other wise the rest of my fat is hidden in my lean cut meats (chicken or steaks adn the occassional fish) or in speciality meats for dinner like sausage/meatballs for pasta night.

oh and every now and then i have lamb, ground up like hamburger

my wife likes to make pasta on wednesdays so i do eat that.
and every once in a while we eat out on the weekend (maybe pizza or some restraunt food) but other wise i try to stay to my macro's.

as far as muscle growth, i think i have actually seen better growth since i have started this and better muscle recomposition.
