quick questions
I am on a cutting diet right now,I do cardio 5-6 times a week when i do it i usually do 30-40 minutes and i start for the first five minutes at a 5.0 pace then the next five min at 6.0 then 7.0 then 8.0 then 9.0 then 10.0 then i walk for 10 minutes at an incline, Is this 2 much cardio? Also I have been eating sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello a lot lately are these that bad? Also would it hurt me if i had a tablespoon of natty pb and a little sugar free jelly on some wheat bread? I had one the other night and it was great but I do what to screw my diet up.

From what I have read previously, the only thing I wouldn't agree with is the pace. I think it is best to be at a brisk walk to maximize the affect, if you run at the quicker pace I believe you will be burning muscle and not getting the result you are looking for.

Bread w/peanut butter while dieting would not be a good idea.

70% of MHR, and you'll being losing a lot more fat than at what I think you said was your personal level 10. Going all out means your body would be in an anaerobic state in which the percentage of fat calories being burnt are a like 15% vs. 85% @ 70%/MHR.

Even fast walking can do the job.

you would think though by running you would burn more fat though cause your sweating more and burning more calories, I dont know ive been running hard for the past month or so and ive been cutting i guess i will have to change to walking, which is way easier anyways

Diet and supplements are also very important.

202.59 is your maximum? If so, 70% is 141.183. 23.53 beats every 10 sec.
