Nice work.

On 2, I don't completely agree. Some people like to work out that way, others don't. As for actually losing weight, cardio will burn more calories. I lift with rest periods to maximize strenght gains. I then go get my cardio done, and for that I generally do a mix of steady state jogging and sprints. I also walk, backpack, work on a heavy bag, bike, etc. The only real key on this line item is to do strength training to minimize muscle loss (and perhaps even gain some depending on the individual and training intensity).

On 5, it will vary with the individual but if it worked for you, fatastic. Meal timing itself doesn't really matter, but I don't think you were going there.

Overall, damn fine list!

Edit: my usual typos

Thanks for the feedback, take point 5 lightly as you're right. It does depend on individual requirements.

Strength training is an excellent way to burn fat if done with short rest and as you pointed out, preserves muscle tissue.

Thanks for the feedback though really appreciated

So, out of curiosity, a variation of metabolic resistance training - something like circuit training with resistance/cardio intervals? I find such routines work very well, at least for me.

Yeah exactly, anything that works muscle groups and increases the heart rate. It's not for everyone but it yields best results.

Absolutely.
Also, great list. Cheers on reaching your goals!

Thanks best of luck!

Gonna add sleep to the list.

Sleep is very important for appetite control.

Best of luck everyone!
