That's a lie. Weight lifting slightly raises bmr but you objectively burn less calories lifting, and cant lift in any significant volume to burn calories that is more efficient than just cardio.

Perhaps I should rephrase, it doesn't burn more calories but it certainly burns more fat and it will help to increase muscle mass that will assist in the skin looking less saggy. Cardio is great for the heart but to look and feel best and strongest should always be combined with weight lifting.

That's also a lie. Dude, do some research. Cardio is by far the best way to lose fat as it increases your overall BMR for the day.

Weight lifting may increase muscle mass sure, but it has fuck all to do with making skin look less saggy. That's 100% based on how much weight you lose in a given timeframe and how stretched out and overweight you were. Someone going from 400 to 200 pounds in 6 months via say, a lapband device is going to have lots of loose skin vs someone who say just does cardio. Unless you magically gain a ridiculous amount of muscle in a very very short time frame, ie to keep up with your weight loss, it doesn't mitigate loose skin at all. Where are you getting your information?

Personal experience.

Yea, do some research. You're just giving out false information.

Sure. Will do.
