I did when I quit playing football. I did fasted cardio every morning for an hour. Went from 270ish to 200lbs relatively quick. I think I also did a spin class twice a week in the afternoon.
Now mind you I was 20 or 21yrs old and continued lifting weights too. I wasn't a soft 270, was squatting over 500 and benching over 300. So my resting metabolic rate was probably pretty high. It took about 8k calories a day for me to get that big....and my body just couldn't handle the weight.
Low intensity cardio can be used to lose weight, but it must be in conjunction with a caloric deficit.
At 21 you can go from 5 mountain dews to 3 mountain dews a day and lose 30lbs. 😂
Probably.
Currently in the process of dropping another 20-30lbs from 220, I'll see how difficult it is in comparison.
Now I'm doing intermittent fasting, eating right, and most importantly drinking only water (no booze).
