Publisher's Summary
Forget "losing weight" - you want to lose fat...and if you want to know how to do it as quickly as possible without losing muscle...and without doing hours and hours of grueling cardio every week...then you want to listen to this audiobook.
What if I told you that you could dramatically transform your body eating foods you actually like...every day...seven days per week?
What if all you had to do to lose fat and not muscle was follow a handful of flexible dietary guidelines...not starve and deprive yourself?
And what if I promised you could forever break free of the anxieties most people associate with "dieting" and make it something you can enjoy as a lifestyle instead?
Well, by the end of this book, you'll know exactly what you need to do to get a lot more out of a lot less exercise...and a lot more delicious food...than you ever thought possible.
Here's a "sneak peek" of some of the things this book will teach you....
- The biggest diet lie you've been told (and probably believe) that makes losing fat way harder than it has to be.
- Why "clean eating" is overrated and guarantees nothing in the way of losing fat and building muscle...and what you should do instead.
- Five simple eating eating habits that keep you lean, healthy, and happy...without having to obsess over every calorie you eat.
- How to use "fasted cardio" to lose fat...and stubborn fat in particular...even faster.
- Seven powerful cardio workouts that will help you burn fat and not muscle in less than 30 minutes per day (and you don't even have to do them every day!).
- And a whole lot more!
Buy this book now and begin your journey to a leaner, sexier, healthier you!

This, like Michael's other book is a great addition to any fitness library. I wasn't sure if it was just going to be a repeat of B.L.S. And was relieved to find it full of good information not found in his other book.

Life Changing Information
At 51 years old I was tipping the scale at 330lbs. It was getting scary. Doctor told me I was prediabetic and that if I didn't lose weight I wouldn't be around much longer. I had tried Atkins and the cookie diet only to gain the weight back as soon as I got off the diets.
I joined a gym and hired a trainer. The very first day she took my phone and put in an app that kept track of my calories, protein, carbs and fat. She knew what she was talking about but I had no clue. I knew that if I understood what these things did to my body it would be easier to stick to the plan she devised for me. So I searched Audible for a book that would explain all of this stuff.
Thank God I found Cardio Sucks. I listened to this book while I rode my bike. It energized me. Mike breaks down why these things work for your body and what you need to do to lose weight and keep the muscle you have.
The best part is he explained I could still eat the foods I loved as long as I hit the targets my trainer had placed in the app for me. Once I understood HOW protein and carbs and the other macronutrients worked for me, the weight started falling off. I only spend three hours a week in the gym and have dropped from 330 to 290 in eight weeks. The education I received from this book very well could have saved my life! I'm eating "better" now because I don't eat near as much and I keep track of everything I put in my mouth so I know how it will react in my body. For those of you who say, "I don't want to record everything I eat" then I say to you that you don't really want to help yourself. That's the same laziness that helped you put on the extra weight in the first place!
IT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE! 40lbs in eight weeks! and I'm eating 2280 calories a day! I'm never hungry!
Please, do yourself a favor and buy this book. Mike does an incredible job teaching you how to get healthier eating the foods you love. Its not a diet to me. Its just a new way of life that gives me the energy I was lacking. It gave me my life back!

Athletic Research into Performance
Mike Matthews' research in developing this book cannot go unrecognized! As he explains, Cardio Sucks is all science based-peer reviewed papers that have been carefully selected to advise the readers on the TRUTH about cardio. Without mixing words, Mike carefully explains the proper way to effectively lose weight, while debunking the false propaganda and incorrect ineffective myths of cardio. Thank you Mike for helping me shed the pounds and body fat while keeping my lean muscle.
