Another thing: I read that being fitter increases your metabolism, therefore increases your fat burning capabilities while idle...

So how is the best way to train for fat loss? Do I do intense cardio, or do I take it easy? I'm capable of sustaining high amounts of effort for around 20 minutes or more if needed. Thanks
Study after study have shown that total caloric expenditure is all that really matters. The 'fat loss zone' is BS.
