Status: offline 		Just a quick question. When trying to lose fat it really comes down to you body being in energy surplus ie. calories in vs calories out. So im just wondering can a person lose fat and get to a low bodyfat% just by weight training and having a really strict diet?
I ask this because i find it hard to retain muscle mass and because of this i try to avoid doing cardio, could i successfully lose fat by just making sure im diet is really strict?

There are all different types of weight training though, you have circuit training, tabata to conventional weights. A mixture works well
