You should start a weight training program. Just do compound exercises (bench, squat, deads) and get the juices flowing in your body. Eat a lot of protein, start making some muscles, these will help burn fat. Next, increase you cardio, start at 30 min of the most you can do 3 times a week. Increase this until you get to 5 times a week, with two days off. Also, try to do this first thing in the morning or on an empty stomach. Good luck.

This is important for burning fat! Go for a long run first think in the morning. When you wake up your body has no food in your stomach to burn off as energy while you are running so it will burn your fat for energy.

It may have sounded sarcastic but it is true.

My best friend used to drink 2-3 Buds a few times during the week nights and 7+ on Friday and Saturday.

He was pushing 220. Now that he doesn't drink thoughout the week and the same on weekends, he's lost 20 pounds without any extra physical activity.

This is a debatable issue. IMO it doesn't matter what time of day you do cardio, you'll still get the same results.


One thing that isn't debatable is that for optimal fat loss you should do cardio at high intensity for short periods. Not low intensity for long periods. It would be better to do wind sprints than to run long distances.

Yes it is.

And this is debatable FOR THE SAME REASON cardio first thing in the morning is debatable.

I don't know...

Here's an interesting link on interval training that says short intervals are better than long intervals for fat loss. The fat oxidation was 3 times lower in the group that did the longer intervals.
