This is the way I lost my body fat. I did no cardio or intensive
aerobics -- just lifted heavy weights 4x a week -- isolated/split routine
(I would promote this over 1x -- full; but individuals may vary)
and moderate walking. And of course the diet below.

Inceasing muscle mass this way sped my fat loss. Intensive aerobics
would have made it more difficult to increase muscle mass, just
defeating the goal of reducing fat. And you need enough fat in the
the combination of meats you eat to have enough energy to pump
weights. This is the way it all tied together for me.
