Earlier quoted context omitted.

isn't "fat loss" just: eat less, do more cardio?

For the most part no, as that would propel postal workers and warehouse employees to the fitness levels comparable only to Olympic athletes. Fat acquisition, absorption, retention and burn is a functional of the endocrine system (hormones) rather than cardiological system (heart and blood vessels). Gary Taubes' "Good Calories, Bad Calories" as well as his numerous articles is probably a good start.

didn't know that; always thought it's just calorie in < calorie out. will check out that book, thanks!
