Is there no hope for "Cardio Hater"?

On the disliking cardio deal maybe try jump rope. Just 2 minutes (I started w 1 minute and worked my way up) kicks my tush and gets me warmed up before I grab some weights. That's the only cardio I don't mind, I try to get through it without messing up. Try to be positive, stress can be a doosy also.

So, I started going to gym 3 days a week. It's been 3-4 months now. I don't go on to cardio machine. I have a trainer who works me out with weight.

Question is am I never going to lose any body fat if I don't do cardio? What are my other option? I tried the calorie counting and I gave up half way. I eat mostly homemade good. red meats and vegetables. I don't eat processed food. I don't go out and buy lunch. I bring food from home.

I don't know how much more I can cut down on bad food? Yet my increased about 2 inches around my waist in that 3-4 months.

I'm so frustrated, it almost makes me want to give up and become fat and loathe myself for rest of my life.

Please help! What is the easiest workouts I can try? I knew I had to start somewhere so I joined the gym but seems to worthless now.

I lose so much faster with exercise. The more I do, the more I lose. People around here like to say that exercise doesn't help you lose weight, but they're full of it. It totally does. You don't have to do it! You can lose by just eating less, but you'll lose a lot more if you do some cardio, too.

What's the easiest? Walking. Really, the easiest thing is the thing you enjoy, because if you like it, it's seems less like work. Walking is pretty damn easy, though. Swimming is fantastic! It burns more calories than anything and you don't feel hot and sweaty! It's also very easy on the joints and the only exercise I know of where being fat doesn't hold you back.

You don't have to weigh and measure every bite of food if it's more obsessive than you feel like being, lol. But you have to take in fewer calories. A really good way to do that is to eat healthy food. Healthy food is pretty low-cal. Most people who eat only healthy food have trouble getting enough calories into their body because they're so stuffed. True dat! So swap that red meat out for lean, white meat. Make half of everything you eat a fruit or a veggie. Drink water. Eat fiber (keeps you full and keeps you regular!) Eat whole grain breads and pastas instead of white. http://www.fitness.gov/eat-healthy/how-to-eat-healthy/

If you go to the gym, just do whatever you feel like doing. Lift some weights, ride the bike, whatever. Try to have fun with it. Try everything! You never know what you're going to like!

You do have to put forth some effort to lose. You can't keep eating whatever you want and not exercise and expect to lose weight, lol. You will keep getting bigger that way, not smaller. You're going to have to do some work!

I don't know if you really want to go through the work of losing. It kind of doesn't sound like it. But it isn't that damn hard once you develop the new habits. Eat right and exercise! You've heard it before. Now just do it. If you want.

Good luck.

Didn't we go over your misunderstanding of this when discussing how maintenance calories move dependent upon your activity level?
