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.

Also, you'll discover how you can combine a safely reduced carb intake high intensity interval training in order to secure greatly improved results in the gym.

Over the last decade, carbohydrates have been given an undeserved reputation as the bad guy in your diet plan. Celebrity endorsed diets and gossip magazines which continually buy into the next big fad diet have got many gym enthusiasts literally running scared from the thought of eating more carbs. So before you do anything to lower your current intake, you need to know the difference between a low carb and a zero carb diet.

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...

* 1.25 grams of protein for every pound of your weight.

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

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

Beware of changing your diet too quickly, though. It would be wiser to use the targets given above as the destination you would like to reach. Take your time to move in line with these figures, as opposed to immediately changing your whole approach. Otherwise, your body could reject the change. Use the next few weeks to start making small changes each week, so that by the end of the month you have dialed your entire calorie intake into line with the recommended targets.

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.

By ensuring your macronutrients are all at the correct levels you will also unlock new results from your training, particularly if you are a fan of high intensity interval training. This is because HIIT only returns maximum results when you have your protien, carb and fat intake at the correct levels. []

With all of the fad diets and conflicting information out there, learning proven facts on how to lose weight quickly can be a difficult task. However, despite the many myths which are surely out there, the most effective method is still making small, manageable changes to your diet.
