Is there really only one way?

October 9th my workout is going to be:

1. 60 minutes of intense cardio in the morning.
2. 4-5 healthy, homecooked meals thorought the day.
3. 60 minutes of intense cardio at night.

I used to run at the gym every day and lost weight, never saw a reason to take a day off. As a matter of fact I'm the type of person that likes to keep a schedule going tightly else it is easy for me to fall off. Do I absolutely need weight training? Do I absolutely need to take every other day off? I want to lose around 40lbs before the end of the year and I know that is a tough goal to reach but when I used to run I could meet about 2lbs a week. So if I doubled up on my cardio shouldn't that increase weight loss? Seems like a logical deduction.

:p
 
2 hours of cardio, or 40 mins of weights and 30 mins of cardio for the same fat loss...but you'll gain muscle, which helps burn more fat, you'll have that good chiseled look.
But if you'd rather do all that extra cardio for fewer benefits...that's cool too.

;)

yes, do the weights, every other day. do cardio AFTER weights, and on days you don't weight train.
 
So weight train every other day for 40mins but cardio every day? And as I continue to read about the diets the whole thing is very confusing. Before when I was excercising I just made sure not to eat greasy foods, fast foods, anything with butter/cheese and baked/grilled everything instead. I ate reasonable portions but I didn't read about the protein in this and carbs in that. I'm not exactly sure how I should read them and what my intake should be. Is there a link or a thread accurately describing how much carbs/protein/fat I should intake daily?
