re: Best Way to Cut Weight?

Burn more calories than you take in.
That’s it. It’s science.

Working out helps.
Cardio helps.
But diet is king.
You can lose it as fast or as slow as you want. The slower you lose weight, the healthier and the more likely it will stay off.
A daily 500 caloric deficit will be a pound lost a week.

1g of protein per lb. of body weight a day will prevent any muscle loss.
