Years ago when I lost about 40 pounds, I was following a workout regimen similar to what Mark Sisson outlined in his book The Primal Blueprint. He was a former distance runner who was dealing with injuries stemming from the abuse that years of running had done to his body. He stopped distance running and started sprint workouts and, in conjunction with diet changes and some body-weight exercises, cut body fat and added a lot of muscle.
