It just depends on your diet, sleep, workouts, how well your body burns fat. I am currently doint the pintoca cutting calendar and it works very well. You can track things out and it also shows a pretty good estimate of weight/bf loss over the coarse of I think 12 weeks. Good luck. Its under diet& bodybuilding if you wanna see it.

1.5 per week is doable on minimal cardio
so more cardio makes it even harder?
I'm new to this, I've always been in sports where the focus is on 20 - 30 hours a week of cardio ( long distance running and swimming)
I've always done a fair amount of cardio.. and i think I need it because I have to struggle to keep the weight off.
I'm doing weights 4 times a week, are you saying more cardio will make reducing BF harder?

To address both these issues, Yes, excess (too much) cardio can end up hurting your progress rather than helping it (depending on what your goal is).panache said:
How clean is your diet? Are you doing extra cardio to make up for a poor diet or eating too large of portions? Something along those lines?
Any healthy issues to consider that may be hindering your progress? (thyroid etc)

I wouldn't call it easy on less perhaps you started at a higher bf say over 25%. Then yeah it would be easier but the lower your bf gets the harder it is to drop fat.The Shadow said:
Bunny,
how do I know if I'm doing too much cardio..
Trying tokeep the diet as clean as poss. but doing cardio every morning alternating with high intensity or interval running/biking.
I just don't feel right if I don't do cardio at least 5 times a week. I need to getmy hear rate up. I guess I've never done this kind of training before where the focus is on short cardio sessions with more weight training.
even if i do a high intensity/interval workout but only for half an hour, my heart rate doesn't get that high.
If my diet is good,(trying to eat 5 small meals a day), doign cardio first thing in the am. doing weights 4 evenings a week, how does cardio hinder the BF loss process?
Thanks for your responses!

nope...1.5 is easy.
you knw you are doing too much cardio when your weekly bf test shows thatyou are losing lbm.
HIIT cardio 3x per week for 30-40 minutes is PLENTY on a clean diet
