"The only way to lose fat is by means of a caloric deficit. You create a deficit by monitoring your intake and eating less than you burn. Sure, extra exercise can help create that deficit if you are sedentary most of the day. People who sit at a desk for work can benefit from some extra movement to increase their expenditure. This will allow them to eat a little more food and drop fat faster than without any exercise at all".
What are /fit/ thoughts about this? This guy says that weightlifting alone is not useful to burn fat, but in any other place is someone saying that no need to cardio if you are weight training.

keeping your muscle mass, accelerating the process of weight loss and an overall shift into a healthier lifestyle are the benefits of starting weightlifting/cardio to lose weight.
obviously you can simply eat less, but if you dont move, you will rather lose some muscle mass instead of all the fat you want to get rid of. and yoyo effects are a big thing because of thoughtless diets which leave you wanting more instead of eating healthy, as much as you need and doing sports for a change.

I don't see where he says that anon, when this text specifically tells that "The only way to lose fat is by means of a caloric deficit" and "extra exercise can help create that deficit".

If you're looking to solely burn fat, then the only thing you'll need is a caloric deficit. Whether or not you create through eating alone or by being active is frankly irrelevant to this.
That being said, it is neither optimal nor efficient to strictly cut calories without activity. For one, the greater ratio of lean body mass to body fat, the more calories your body burns, thus making the fat loss more efficient (or at least more expedient). Further, generally people want to lose weight to look better, and muscularity is part of that desired look, so one should be doing activity to try and stimulate that muscle growth.
Cardio is more or less for overall health since it positively impacts multiple bodily systems (cardiovascular, skeletal, endocrine, etc.). It's not necessary, but it should be done anyway if health is of concern to the person. Weight lifting provides these benefits too, but is generally approached by people as more for aesthetics and/or athletics than overall health.

All he says is that if you eat more than you work off you will not lose weight, regardless of what you are doing.
No one here will disagree with that.

Depends on how fat you are. At 350lbs with no experience I would have seriously hurt myself at the gym. I lost the weight, then I took a class, now I'm in there six days a week getting my shit together. If you're at 21% and you want to get to 17% or whatever, there's really only a handful of ways to do it that don't involve lifting weights.

The desired fat burn state gets reached in two ways:
1 eat less to be on deficit
2 create deficit by exercise
now on to details:
You ALWAYS lose fat and muscle
how to retain more muscle while losing the fat:
1 protein intake on point
2 resistance exercise
The body will get rid of whatever is not useful for your everyday activity
No lift, bye muscle
ie: deficit + low intensity cardio = massive overall weightloss, but you become the king of skinnyfatties
