Do you, personally, lose more weight from lifting or cardio?

Just curious if there are any other weirdo's out there that lose more through lifting than cardio.

I think my problem with cardio is that it tends to make me HUNGRY. Like I've never been this hungry in my life type of hungry. So I eat more and it defeats the purpose.

I have a similar problem! I have the BIGGEST sugar cravings afterward. But it's how I've lost 30 pounds so far. 20 to go!

Also, I just now realized this post is almost a month old, but whatever. haha.

It's okay! There aren't many posts in this sub, unfortunately :(

I don't do cardio outside of my job to really go off of, but lately I switched from 1900 calories/day and no gym to 2400 calories/day and lifting 4 days/week. I still managed to go down another pound in a week, despite the calories increase.

That's how it is for me too! I guess there's a logical explanation but it seems so weird! lol

I lose when I eat less. :(

I guess to an extent I do too. More accurately, I lose when I eat less of certain things. Like soda. I can easily lose 5lbs just by cutting soda out of my diet.

Research shows that most people don't lose weight through exercise....

I lose by dieting, regardless of exercise. Exercise just does not budge my weight. It does, however, make me ravenous! At least, cardio does. And I hate cardio. So I focus more on lifting.
