How To Dial In Your Carbohydrate Intake For Optimal Fat Loss

by Russ Hollywood

Almost everybody who goes to the gym would like to discover the secret of how to lose weight quickly, that's a fact. Yet so few people ever discover how to do it. Many people hear stories about cutting carbohydrates in order to increase fat loss, but few know how to do it properly. Today you'll discover how to do it.

On top of this, you'll find out how you can combine a correctly structured macronutrient intake with high intensity interval training, yielding excellent results both inside and outside of your local gym.

It's pretty safe to say that carbohydrates have been given an unfair stereotype over the last few years. This is largely down to fad diets and glossy magazines promoting the idea of cutting them from your diet. Unfortunately, these drastic measures have got many people, particularly women, scared when it comes to getting the correct carbohydrate intake. Make no mistakes about it, the difference between 'low carb' and 'no carb' is huge.

Diets which contain zero of any of the three major macronutrients have been proven unsuccessful by rigorous scientific studies. Your body needs protein, fat and carbohydrates in order to survive. Contrary to popular belief, you cannot lose any unwanted fat if you are not consuming carbs or fats. These type of diets often lead to situations where people make themselves ill and eventually wind up heavier than when they started!

The first thing you should do is work out your existing intake. In order to do this, simply grab a notebook and keep a food diary for the next four days. You'll then be able to work out your intake of calories, protein, carbs and fats very easily. The ultimate goal is to get your intake to the following...

* 1.25g protein per pound of body weight.

* 0.5 grams of carbohydrates for every pound of body weight.

* 0.5g fats per pound of body weight.

As pointed out above, these are the target figures and you should take some time to bring your existing macronutrient consumption into line with these figures. That's a far safer and more proven method for sustainable fat loss than simply switching your daily intake in one big jump.

Scientific studies have shown countless times that a smarter, gradual approach to changes within the diet brings more long term success than knee-jerk reactions and sudden drastic measures.

One of the extra benefits to sorting out your eating habits, of course, is that the efforts you put in at the gym will be much more noticeable. For example, if you are performing regular bouts of high intensity interval training you will be able to fully realize the many benefits of this training method with the correct carbohydrate intake.

Learning how to lose weight quickly can be a slippery slope, with so many fad diets and gimmick products waiting to cash in on those who are looking for a quick fix which doesn't exist. Before you make any moves to secure a better body for yourself, it's important that you do the research in order to make improvements which are not only fast but also sustainable.
