Any speacial tricks? I'd like to sit on my ass and eat like a pig. Sad thing is I'm not joking, I hate cardio and like to eat. I've talked to a couple guys and a lady at my gym who have droped some weight extremely fast and they all said they just watched what they ate (not full on diet, just ate stuff good for them) and each one said 30 to 45min of cardio a day was the key to there weight loss. One guy is a tall guy who used to lift pretty heavy and he lost 25lbs (was not fat to begin with), the lady had a smooth build with not much fat and now she's shredded (didn't ask about weight, you know "the lady thing"), the other was a heavier guy like 280 and only lost like 10lbs but about but looks like he lost about 30lbs do to him gaining muscle too. So yes it looks like cardio and diet (eat good stuff) is the only key.
