I have a question for y'all. Currently, my body type is fat and muscle (37% fat, unfortunately). Based on my father, it's possible for me to get slim, but strength training feels more natural for me. I love it, but I can't stand cardio. I simply can't keep my heart rate high for long without feeling like I'm going to die (i.e. I'm out of shape). Is it possible to lose weight with the objective of being both strong and lean? Are those honestly contradictory things, because everyone seems to describe it as if it were so? "You need to eat more to gain muscles." "You need to eat less to lose fat." "You need to slow, low reps and high weight." "You need quick, high reps with low weight."
