For me, HIIT on a deficit plus weight training is a sure fire way to crash and burn. In fact when I did that last Spring I wound up gaining over 10 lbs because it wore me out so much and made me so hungry I couldn't get enough food in me to recover LOL And I was not a newbie, I had been doing hard cardio workouts and lifting for years. It was just the combo of the deficit+HIIT+weights that really did me in. My hormones got all out of whack--thyroid, cortisol, screwy periods, etc as well.
