How to lose 10 pounds of fat with without cardio!

I'm going to admit something. From about August 2007 to mid February of 2008 I was being really bad about eating and exercising. I got caught up in the this years presidential primaries and pretty much concentrated on nothing but that, forgoing fitness for those entire 5 1/2 months.

Needless to say, I put on a little fat - about 10 pounds. Well, it's all gone now and I can see my six pack again. How did I do it? Easy, I just ate a low-carb paleo diet concentrating on meats, veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds. For a month and a half I lifted weights and ate right, and I did "cardio" maybe once or twice. But the one or two times I did it, it wasn't traditional cardio where you run, bike, or elliptical for 45 minutes. It was deadlifts followed immediately by sprints, or verticals jumps, or pullups and pushups.

Just goes to show you that diet is a powerful determinant of body composition, so if you aren't seeing the fat loss that you hoped for, then look first at what you're doing with your diet.
