Too much Cardio burns Muscle, and some of the calories your body needs. Cardio is fine, but becoming too reliant on it for fat losses, or doing too much, is not a sound way to progress. Bearing in mind his calorie intake might be not too far off the limit, in order to get less bf%.
Alsdo avoiding Carbs, is going to cause Ketosis, (Burning of Fats for energy, instead of Carbs),and unless you're prepping for some kind of contest, that's not a healthy state to be in, as it can affect the quality of your blood, and long term, cause damage to some of your organs.
If he wants to reduce his Fat, then simple methods like water intake and increased healthier Fats, will be beneficial

"Too much cardio" is relative. As long as an individual is adequately fueled and energy is replenished, muscle mass will not be negatively affected.Boss Man wrote:Too much Cardio burns Muscle, and some of the calories your body needs.

A small amount of protein is burned when performing cardio exercise, but if you are appropriately fueled (eat adequate calories) and replenish fuel adequately, muscle does not have to be compromised.FireMyst wrote:i love carbs! and timing etc. is BS. you only have to stay in your calorie limit... it gets very difficult to get into the single digit bf% without losing muscle... cardio indeed burn alot of muscles.
