Default Combining HIIT and regular Cardio = Overtraining?

Hi Chris,

but i read somewhere HIIT is not better for fat loss instead of this go for cardio read

How Cardio Helps Fat Loss. To lose fat you need a caloric deficit. Either by eating less calories or by burning more calories or both. Here's how HIIT & steady state cardio help you create this caloric deficit:

Burn Calories. Your body uses the food you eat as fuel for cardio. The more & higher intensity cardio you do, the more calories you'll burn.
Increase Metabolic Rate. Your body burns more calories at rest during the hours post cardio. This is the post-workout afterburn or EPOC.
Eat More. Cardio allows you eat more while having a caloric deficit. This can prevent starvation with lighter males/females.
