What if your goal was fat loss and you did an hour a day of low-intensity cardio. Would that be a good idea compared to higher intensity cardio with much shorter workouts? What if you did 90 minutes, or even (gasp) TWO HOURS a day of low intensity cardio? What about that? Bad? Total overkill? Or could that be a secret key to losing fat fast that most people never use because it's too time consuming? What if you had the time? For the answer to this unusual question, read on.

Do Mobile Apps Work For Weight Loss? What’s The Evidence?

2023-08-04T11:55:46-04:00By Tom Venuto|Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

Despite the popularity of mobile apps, there hasn't been much research on whether they are effective for weight loss over the long term. In addition, because the features of different apps can vary so much, including food, weight, step, and sleep tracking, that has made it difficult for researchers to conclude what is driving their effectiveness when they do work. A recent study analyzed eight apps, including MyFitnessPal, Calorie King, FitBit and five others to try to answer this burning question: Do apps really improve long term weight loss or not?...

Does Fasted Cardio Burn More Fat? (An Update)

2023-01-28T13:05:24-05:00By Tom Venuto|Cardio Training, Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

Does fasted cardio burn more fat? 20 or 30 years ago, almost everyone in fitness and bodybuilding thought so. You can count me in that group. I was a 1990s and 2000s era competition bodybuilder and I did a lot of fasted cardio first thing in the morning. Back then I also recommended cardio on an empty stomach to my training clients for burning more fat. Today the research is clear: Fasted cardio works, but it doesn't work better than fed cardio.

When it comes to fat loss while maintaining or building muscle, is there such a thing as a perfect diet plan? If so, is it possible that the bodybuilding-style diet, which has been around since at least the 1990s and probably long before that is still the best fat loss diet, despite countless other diets being available today? If so, why? If not what are the downsides of bodybuilding diets? If "it depends," what does it depend on?...

Does HIIT Burn Fat Better Than Steady State Cardio?

High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been promoted as a time-efficient way of doing cardio. Advocates of HIIT often claim that HIIT is superior to moderate intensity steady-state training (MISS) for fat loss. However, whether HIIT produces more total fat loss over time has not been confirmed in long-term research that measured body composition.
