Bytsi -- Stop thinking in binary terms.

It's not about either

1) restricting calories like crazy and doing tons of volume of SS cardio
or
2) lifting heavy and doing intervals while eating a lot more food

There's a happy medium in between the two.

You can rely on lifting, moderate calorie deficits, and moderate to low amounts of "metabolic work". You just have to keep those three factors in balance. The more high-intensity activity, the more the need to eat.

You just need to establish a net calorie balance in order to decrease fat mass. Nobody here is suggesting that you drop calories as low as you can stand and sit on the treadmill for 2 hours a day.

There's a point of moderation between all these variables.

You have to stop thinking of it as an either/or thing.
