Hello T-Nation.
I have a question concerning the most effective way to lose body fat. Here is a bit of history.
I am a 22 year old Male
I am currently ~5’1 - 5’2
I currently weigh 230 pounds
I would like to weigh 130-150
This was my fat loss plan before consulting the members of T-Nation.
- Eating a clean and nutritional diet while creating a caloric deficit
- HIIT training (sprinting) 7 days a week for 60 minutes.
Considering my college schedule is pretty short and I’ll have plenty of free time on my hands I do have time to do a little more than what I mentioned above. My question to the T-Nation members is what the best thing to add would be.
I was considering adding another session of HIIT or serious weight training. I hear however that there is an “interference effect” when trying to combine serious weight training and serious endurance training and that I would be better off doing one or the other exclusively.
So what do you all consider the best method for fat loss? Serious HIIT with serious weight training or serious HIIT until I lose the body fat and then serious weight lifting to build muscle (Cutting and Bulking phases)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
