High intensity or hiit cardio will burn up muscle glycogen you need for working out.

I'd keep the cardio low intensity. A brisk walk around the neighborhood first thing in the am prior to breakfast or uphill treadmill walking pwo should work well. 30-60 minutes a clip depending on how much fat you need to lose. I'd start at 30 and work up.
