How Many Carbs to Lose Weight

How many carbs to lose weight is something which is often asked. I've always been told that to become successful at something find good role models that are already effective in what you want to be successful at. Yourself these people or this person, mimic their behavior and actions. By doing so you will reap the same benefits that they did. Of which brings me to weight lifters.

Bodybuilders are not the best role model for everyone muscle wise, and maybe sometimes they get their body fat just far too low. However, everyone can learn and mimic the actions of bodybuilders to decrease body fat and improve body composition. It is a fact that the art of bodybuilding or body toning is literally reaching the best leanest body composition. So even though we may well not want to look like a strength athlete, especially one on steroids, we can learn a great deal from how bodybuilders eat and exercise to achieve a much better fat to muscle ratio. After all they are the best at it. The question remains so how many carbs to lose weight?

Most Weight lifters

Most bodybuilders - that I have studied consume a 40, 40, 20 split of carbs, necessary protein, and fat. 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat. This split really works, and I say that from experience. This is usually the split that I do when trying to have a lean look. To find out your 40, forty, 20 split you first have to determine how many calories you should be possessing a day. Then take that number and take 40, 40, 20 percent from that number respectively. Afterwards you divide the amount you get for carbs by 4 because there are 4 calories in every gram of carbs.

This is important to exercise if you need to be able to eat more carbs without hitting spillover. Spillover is a major no no when trying to lose weight with carbs. It occurs when you're system's carb "gas tank" contains large amount and stores any extra carbs as fat. By exercising your body needs more carbs to be used in muscle.
