    The Shred Thread

    Surf - your explanation for why extra cardio doesn't help weight loss is right. The easiest way I had it explained was that when you first start a VLCD, the major change is the calories you eat. If you drop the calories to the levels we have, and then do more cardio, the body simply hasn't...
