I am eating heavy and lifting heavy to get size,mass, strength and I did.
In 1 month I will change my lifting workout to burn more fat,define and gain muscle seperation.
My problem is that I just don't know how to eat or diet to strip fat off. I have the muscle I just need the excess fat to be gone from the muscle I have accumulated.
How do I start? I was thinking of eating METRX for 2 day's just to shrink my stomach and then going hardcore high protien/low fat?
Help if you can relate?

I wouldn't suggest you go extremely low fat as this could affect your testosterone production. Instead, slowly reduce your calories each week. If you reduce them too fast, your metabolism will slow down. First, cut out any obviously unhealthy foods (fast food and sodas for example). Then cut out simple carbs (except for after a workout). Eat plenty of fats, but make sure they are healthy fats. As you reduce your calories, take them away from carbs first. Then take them away from fats. Do not take them away from protein (maintain one gram per pound). Also, make sure you eat around six times a day.
I don't think a Met Rx diet will shrink your stomach. Stomach shrinking will take a few weeks. Also a sudden MetRx only diet will cause a sharp drop in calories per day which will slow your metabolism.
Don't forget to ramp up your post weightlifting cardio to help burn fat.
This should help you get lean. If you need to get into contest shape, I would visit bodybuilding.com and read everything you can on dieting.
Good luck.
