I have no idea how the part of decreased calories lowered their metabolic rate doesn't back up my claim of decreased calories lowers metabolic rate.

Since you guys don't want to read the articles I reference or do your own research into how lower calories lower your metabolism, here's something from Oxford University on a study of reduced calorie intake, and how it reduces metabolism and causes you to lose lean body mass. Took me all of 30 seconds to find: "Subjects…

I was merely pointing out how easily it is to find the information. Now that you know it's out there, you can look them up. Those articles posted are written and published by doctors, certified nutrionists and/or CTPs. I usually find that they are educated in their fields and consider them reputable sources.

Request denied. Do your own research.

Agreed. I was providing an educated opinion of how to achieve a balance while maintaining the OP's interests.

Most articles are quoting research studies from reputable sources, such as studies performed by phDs in exercise and nutrition from large and well-known universities.

Google it.

There are plenty of articles, if you search for them, that back the claim. Also, there are articles that refute the claim. Based on personal experience, I've found that a lower calorie diet with no exercise has much less of an impact than eating a higher amount of calories with a fair amount of exercise.

Nice scientific explanation with supporting evidence to refute. Keep up the good work.

No, you don't, but it speeds the process, and it's healthy to engage activities outside of lifting.

That all depends on how in shape you are, how old you are, how much you weigh, and how much effort you're giving out. The thing about jogging is that you only burn calories while jogging. HIIT continues to burn calories due to EPOC (excess post-oxygen consumption). Read more about that here:…

Except not eating slows your metabolism and starves your body, putting it into fat-storing mode. Sprinting and eating keep your metabolism high.

Jogging for 30 minutes is a lot different than sprinting for 10 minutes. The sprinting will actually burn more calories and utilize more muscle, keeping it preserved.

High intensity High intensity cardio is what you need to lose belly fat and keep muscle.

I personally do 9round (https://www.9round.com/) 5 days a week, burning 650-700 calories per workout, and lift heavy 3 days a week. I track it with a chest strap heart rate monitor during my workouts.

As long as you're doing something at all out effort, it will be fine. Bike, treadmill, stairmaster, punching bag. The 30/60 is a good place to start, working your way to a 60/30 split.

Stick with your same lifting routine. Don't change that. Add in HIIT to lose belly fat. It sucks, but it has to be done. Try a 30 minute kickboxing class 4-5 days a week, or run sprint intervals or hills. The great thing about HIIT is that it doesn't take a lot of time and won't waste away your muscle. Look at how massive…

I ran 3 5Ks last month, another one this Sunday. I'm really hoping to do all half marathons next year, but I just got back into running again in January. Hoping for 10Ks in the fall.
