[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. You don't need to do cardio to lose weight. If your primary goal is to lose weight, dieting is by far the most important, followed by strength training and/or high intensity interval training. Cardio is a distant third.

To be clear, there are plenty of other excellent reasons to do cardio, such as heart health and general energy level. But people tend to massively overstate its importance for weight loss.[/quote]

You are 100% wrong.  The lose fat, and I assume she wants to lose fat, you have to burn it, the only way to burn fat (reduce the size of the fat cells) is to do via cardio.  Limiting food (calories) will reduce lean body mass which is what you want not to get rid of.

If a person is working out properly and at a high enough level to burn fat they will actually increase their caloric intake due to the need to fuel their body.  resistance weight training is a key component as well as a diet.

there is no quick fix, this isn't a reality tv show, for the OP to drop the 30 lbs and do it properly so they look like normal and not a bag of bones with skin hanging off them it should take about a year.  [/quote]
