Fact: Muscle burns more calories than fat does. So the more muscle you have in relation to fat, the higher your basal metabolic rate.

So if you have a large amount of weight to lose, 100+, is it better to do lots of cardio to burn more calories or is it better to do strength training to build more muscle so you'll burn calories faster?

I guess the answer is do both along with a reduction of calorie intake.

    Why do they say dogs mouths are cleaner than humans but dogs lick their own bums and I've seen a few eat their own poop.

    I think that she thought you were creating a thread of things that make you go "Hmm"... Not that you just wanted an answer to your question.

    I'd imagine if you're overweight, but still active and mobile, you'd have built up muscle to be able to move the extra weight. So I doubt there'd be a deficit there. Also, many people who are overweight complain of joint, back, or ankle pain, so I don't think adding any extra initial bulk (muscle mass) would be best before starting cardio.
