It broke a long stall for me. I lost about 20 pounds in 6 months on Atkins. Heavy lifting over the last several years put about 15 pounds of muscle on me, and I'm down a net 30 odd pounds. So, doing the math, I lost 30 pounds overall, gained 15 pounds of muscle (which I really, really wanted!), so I must have dropped about 45 pounds of fat.
The first 20 pounds of fat were mostly diet and cardio. The last 25 pounds of fat were diet and lifting with a LOT less cardio.
Bottom line: I lost more fat lifting than I did on diet alone.
If it didn't work better and faster and easier than straight cardio, I wouldn't have stuck to it. I'm waaaay to lazy to do stuff that doesn't work lol!
