calories and cardio

[BusaCoal]

I've been on a diet since February and have currently lost 34 lbs with diet only. Eating around 1600 calories a day.

I just started doing cardio. I'm in decent shape. I wrote down a plan to do cardio 6 times a week With am HIIT on MWF. And then do another hour at night of moderate cardio for an hour on those nights.

My goal is to lose 22 lbs in 60 days. Got a bachelor party/beach trip coming up on day 60.

Is that way too much cardio and not enough calories for my goal?

I plan on cutting it down after the trip. I just want this quick boost for certain reasons and don't want to hit a wall on the way.

Thanks!

That is a lot of cardio, but you may be OK as long as you keep lifting weights. Resistance training is the key to preserving your muscle while on a calorie deficit.


Rusty Moore's book on the subject of cardio is really good:
