What's the right way to do cardio for fat loss?

DISCLAIMER: The internet became oversaturated with AI bullshit and it's hard to find the right info online. Couldn't find any good info by searching on this shithole either.

I go the the gym 6x a week and lift weights FIRST every time. I train intense, doing 1-2 sets with 80-90% of my 1RPM, so my heart rate never dips below 100 throughout the weightlifting session. Now, for the last 4 days, I been hopping on the treadmill for about 20 minutes where about 60-70% of that time I run intensely. I didn't know about this until today, but there's these heart rate zones and shit and apparently I been running in ZONE 4 all this time and you're not supposed to be in ZONE 4 for more than 1-2 times a week but my body has been handling it just fine. Then there's this info that if your goal is fat loss then you should be in ZONE 2 which for me, is between 115BPM and 135BPM, and given that my heart rate is already elevated from weightlifting, I don't even need to be running, I should simply walk at a fast pace to be around 120BPM heart rate.

Should I stick with going into ZONE 4 six times a week if my body is able to handle? You end up burning more calories this way but "apparently" it dips into your carbs instead of fat reserves. OR I should simply walk fast and be in ZONE 2 because "apparently (thanks AI)" your body uses fat reserves to fuel this activity?

you lose more fat by walking than running, do max incline on treadmill and do a fast walk (for me it's speed 3-4)
also healthier

simply do ur own research and NEVER trust ai. all ai will do is tell u the things u want to hear. now when it comes to weight lost i say try running long distance at a okay pace. shit hopping on a stair master is also a cheat code if u don’t want to run.

I know. It got so bad to the point where what's supposed to be the actual untouched by AI search results ends up being cope/AI bs. I'm still getting used to the new world after being locked up for 2 years lol.
