[quote=Anonymous]I started with lifting, and HIIT, and actually *did* need cardio to lose weight.

To the PP(s?) upthread who said the info is confusing, it is. Partially because very little of it is "hard science", and partially because the "hard science" has so many contributing variables that the only true answer is "it depends."

If you're doing strength training, and tracking your calories/macros, and still not getting the results you're looking for, add cardio. If that helps, stick with it. If it doesn't, go back over your strength program and see if you're working hard enough/often enough, and if your calorie intake is as accurate as you think.

There isn't a one-size answer for this sort of thing. Your body type, metabolism, training history, age, etc. will all factor in. You're going to have to try a few things and see what works FOR YOU.

Please also note that this isn't an overnight program. It's not a one week program either. If you're consistent for a month or more and still not seeing results, tinker.

But be consistent, and track everything you can as accurately as possible. Know yourself.[/quote]
