Second, do not just do cardio, like my idiot self, I decided that cardio would be the way to lose. It was BUT I lost a lot of muscle mass in the process. Also, as well as weight lifting and ab workouts with weights build muscle mass, and speed up your metabolism and heart rate, it also helps you burns calories for the next 48 hours as opposed to cardio which stops burning calories as soon as you stop.
While the advice to do resistance and cardio is good advice. It's not true that you stop burning calories as soon as you stop doing cardio. You may stop burning soon after, but you may continue to burn for several hours. It just depends on you and what type of cardio you are doing.0 -

Statistically insignificant in what way? And how does it compare to the amount of calories burned by having more muscle?
Does HIIT actually qualify as cardio? I always thought cardio = aerobic. When doing HIIT I doubt you'd be in the aerobic zone much.0 -
Ironic that this is ONE MORE post about something that has already been said 100 times before in other posts, especially since this poster says "READ ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT THIS!"
Very true. But most of the people I was directed at, do not want advice, they just want to complain. I just thought I should get as much advice I could out there in one post instead of posting on every single person's complaining thread. But I understand. lol.
...Isn't that what this post is? A complaint because of all of the complainers?
I believe this is the complaint, about the other complaint, about this complaint to end all complaints ...understand?0 -

Hmm, I'm remembering a study done at a NC university that showed an average afterburn of 14 hours for cardio (exercise bike, I believe) among the participants, which were described as fit young men (or something similar). 14 hours seems significant, even if the burn was only slightly more than at rest w/o cardio.
But it's been a while since I read that study. Maybe I'll look it up to re-read later.0 -

So even though we are burning more at rest, we are at rest more, so not burning more overall? That's interesting. But surely that would not apply only to cardio.0 -

Thanks so much for this...
But I know someone out there is thinking "What if I'm the only little special snowflake out there and I need to do more?"...my answer to this will always be, they aren't that special. These suggestions work for EVERYONE. The problem is that most people are their own worse enemy and they make it harder than it really is.0 -
you are amazing!0

Wrong, wrong, wrong. While the special snowflakes are not the norm, they do exist. There are a number of medical conditions that change the rules for weight loss.0
