Hi. I've recently started weight training and eating a 40/30/30 diet and seeing good but slow results.
I'm going on hols in 6 weeks and would really like to boost the fat loss in that time.
Would fasted cardio be a good idea? If so, how long should it be for, would a 20min jog for example be sufficient or should it be more intense?
Also, any other ideas for quick fat loss? I have around 7lbs to lose that's all

High intensity interval training is the best option imo for cardio.0

and would you do that in a fasted state?0

If you don't want to eat, don't, if you do, do. Even of there is seem sort of extra calorie burn benefit to fasted cardio, I think it'd be fairly minimal in the grand scheme of things. Almost all of my workouts, cardio or otherwise, are fasted, and I don't think it's made me lose any faster or more fat or anything.0

I personally don't eat before HIIT, but I don't think there is too much science behind the whole "using up the glycogen stores" that people talk about in relation to fasted cardio. I just get crampy if I run/sprint with food in my belly.
