    Neither. Only a caloric deficit ensures fat loss.

    The one that you can consistently do and improve over time.

    This often becomes and issue with high intensity and/volume.

    Caloric deficit for fat loss, but make sure that the deficit is calculated with your activity levels in mind - either calculate TDEE with your planned activity and then subtract 20% for your new estimated caloric needs, or use 1lb/week as your MFP net goal and log your exercise cals to eat 50-75% of the cals back.

    Do whichever one you will enjoy most. Do not follow up one type with more of another. True HIIT will only really be feasible a few times a week, usually 20 minutes is more than enough. If you do it longer or more often you're probably not doing it right. LISS and MISS can be done as desired. I do LISS or MISS (probably MISS more actually) for 10 mins after strength training for DOMS, and then I'm planning on a 20-30 minute Wednesday LISS or MISS session (or possibly on the weekend.. depends on my school schedule and how my community service class placement goes). I do not like HIIT, but I quite like MISS.

    i agree with this, especially the bold. also if you have 30 minutes of LISS left in you after HIIT then you werent doing HIIT right.

    true HIIT also messes with your hormones, especially leptin and ghrelin, so thats not something you want to be doing all the time. i love sprinting but i leave the true HIIT sprints for 2-3 times a year for a few weeks each cycle.

    i really like MISS though.
