I am going to tell you something right now that you may very well not want to hear, but you need to hear it anyway.  You have to exercise to burn fat.  Yes, I know there are products on t-v that promise that you will burn a bunch of fat while sitting on your couch doing nothing, but the simple truth is that this is not true at all.  But the question now becomes, what is the best way to exercise in order to burn fat?  In my opinion, it is weight training, since this builds lean muscle which burns fat
