Can You Lose Your Belly Without Cardio?

[tuthn]

I'm 6'0 and 190 lbs....my only problem is a slight belly...Is it possible for me to lose my belly with only lifting weights and no cardio.....and should my food calorie intake be slightly above maintenince or should it be below? How long do u think itll take?

liposuction...but I'd rather do cardio wayyyyyy cheaper and the results are much more positive. No side effects from cardio either.

The side effects of cardio can be quite severe. In the worst cases, participants will spend hours on BB.com arguing over whether HIIT or low intensity cardio is best. They lose their jobs, friends, even family.

Just say no! You're better than that, is a six pack really worth losing everything in life that matters?

Of course you can! You just have to be more patient. Why not just do a bit of cardio every week?

Calories burned are calories burned, and a calorie deficit is a calorie deficit. If anything, it will probably just take longer for you to reach your fitness goals -- so in that case it becomes a decision of whether you hate the cardio more than the slower progress.

You lose the belly by eating right. Eat the right foods and that will be your core source of burning fat.

Cardio helps you too. I've been losing some fat by combining a well-placed food regimen and doing cardio every other day. I feel more energetic nowadays and feel that cardio has been a very good supplementing factor. It's like taking vitamins throughout your day. You'll hinder your results if you don't take vitamins, as you don't do cardio.

under, no way you can lose weight if your cals are above maintance

**** yeah cardio is way overrated. Why not just eat less calories and move quicker when lifting try to only rest 30 seconds.

[supplementsavvy]

You can lose weigth with diet alone, but diet and weight training is better, and diet, weight training and cardio is even better for preserving muscle/losing fat.

Liposuction is not a good tool for losing weight. Liposuction (suction lipectomy, lipoplasty, liposculpture) is a powerful sulpting tool for localized fat between the muscles and skin, but it is of no value for fat inside the belly. Diet and exercise are much better for general issues. Liposuction can then be used for localized residual problems, if any.

Hope this helps,

Very informative reply. Lipo would be good if you can see four of your abs yet you still have some love handles then, one would assume.

If you do lipo without a medical reason your just lazy.......
