Losing weight

Hey, im 5'10 to 5'11 and am 16 years old. I weigh about 165 pounds. I have a little stomach fat, and was wondering if cardio would get rid of it. I still eat bad, but i do drink alot of water, and i dont eat after 6 p.m.(go to bed around 10 10:30). Would cardio do the trick?
If so how much?(30 minutes? 2 hours?)
If not, then what else do i have to do.
Thanks guys
 
It's okay. Guys post here often and we don't mind :) We are a welcoming group :D

Cardio may help a bit, but the truth is that you need to start eating better. A mix of cardio, strength training, good food, water and proper rest will due the trick. I'd eat once more before bed if I were you. If your last meal is at 6pm and you go to sleep around 10-10:30pm... then I'd have a small snack around 8:30pm.

Here are 5 tips that may help get you going...

1) Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. Each meal should be 2-3 hours apart. Each meal should contain one protein and one carb. The first meal should be eaten within an hour after waking.


2) Drink a cup of water at each meal.


3) Rest properly. This means taking at least 48 hours between strength training the same muscles, and it also means getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Lastly, it means taking 1-2 days off from exercising per week.


4) Cardio. This should be done at different intensity levels and different session lengths. Consider doing a low intensity/long session, a high intensity/short session and a few medium intensity/medium length sessions.


5) Strength Training. Strength train each muscle 1-3 times per week. You should lift a proper weight and perform the proper amount of sets/reps for your strength training method. If you need more guidance or exercise ideas you can head over


All of the above things combined will result in fat loss.
