Eat Your Veggies
A diet comprised of lean protein with fibrous vegetables as the primary source of carbohydrate is the best way to get truly lean. The trick is in the vegetables themselves. The common thought process is that you must reduce the quantity of food ingested in order to lose fat. Not so with fibrous veggies!
More is better, and here is why: the fiber (bulk) tricks the stomach, producing a full feeling, which delays the metabolic slowdown inevitable with fat loss. In fact, throughout much of your dieting phase, the metabolic rate will actually increase, due to the sheer volume of food ingested. But the body cannot absorb appreciable amounts of carbohydrate from these vegetable sources, so it is forced to burn off that stubborn bodyfat for fuel.
This full - yet - starving situation creates what I call an 'angered' state in the body. You can almost feel the agitation your system is experiencing as it is placed in the very strange dilemma of increasing its rate of digestion to handle the large quantities of food, and to increase thermogenic activity for energy simultaneously.

so the fact that vegetables = not many calories but at the same time are fibrous means right there that is there sole advantage over fibrous carbohydrates for reaching 'satiety' or fullness for 'cutting' or fat-loss goals?

low carb tortillas and fiber one cereal both woul qualify for this diet because of their extreme fiber:calorie ratio.
