A. Cardio is important to burn fat, but too much cardio also makes you burn muscle. Three days of cardio, weight/strength training 3 non-consecutive days a week (use the weekend as a break from it), and 1-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Too many of the wrong carbs make you gain weight in the wrong places, though, so avoid too many starches and anything that's white. (Get your carbs from fruit.)
