The amount of Carbs to Lose Excess weight
How many carbs to lose weight is something which is usually asked. We have always been told that to become successful at something find good role models that are already great at what you want to be successful at. Once you find these people or this person, mimic their behavior and actions. Simply by doing so you will reap the same benefits that they did. That will brings me to bodybuilders.
Bodybuilders are not the best role model for everyone muscle wise, and maybe sometimes they take their body fat just way too low. However, everyone can learn and mimic the actions of bodybuilders to decrease body fat and improve body composition. Please be advised that, that the art of bodybuilding or body sculpting is literally obtaining the best leanest body structure. So even though we might not want to look like a weight lifter, especially one on steroids, we can learn a lot from how bodybuilders eat and exercise to achieve an improved fat to muscle ratio. After all they are the best at it. The question remains so, just how many carbs to lose weight?
Most Bodybuilders
Most bodybuilders - that I have studied consume a 40, 40, 20 split of carbs, protein, and fat. 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat. This split works, and I say that from experience. This is usually the split i do when trying to have a lean look. To determine your 40, 45, 20 split you first have to figure out how many calories you should be using a day. Then take the number of and take 45, 40, 20 percent from that number respectively. Afterwards you divide the number you get for carbs by 4 because there are 4 calories in every gram of carbs.
That is important to exercise if you wish to be able to eat more carbohydrates without hitting spillover. Spillover is a major no no when trying to lose weight with carbs. That occurs when you're human body'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.
