Cardio Or weight Lifting? & Starvation Mode?

[Skillz]

Ok now hears my Question:

What burns more calories..Lifting weights or Cardio? I have no Question in my mind that doing both is the way to
go, but lets say you did 10 min cardio 10 min lifting weights, what would burn more cals?

Another question I had :

From what I know if you burn more cals than you eat you will lose weight..Now if your burning more cals than you
consume doesnt your body go into starvation mode? Or will all the protein and fat take place of the cals?

I think in general lifting does burn more calories...however based on the info: 10min vs. 10 min theres NO WAY to answer that without a lot more info on what you are doing for each of those 10 min.

Cardio is probably your best bet for cutting though.

lifting builds muscle which increases metabolism, but to answer your question directly, 10 minutes of cardio burns more calories than 10 minutes of lifting weights.

Now if your burning more cals than you consume doesnt your body go into starvation mode? Or will all the protein and fat take place of the cals?

depends on your diet. look in the nutrition forums.

If it's one thing you don't want to do is go into starvation mode. You will lose fast and muscle fast!
