First thing, for optimal weight loss you want to lift before you do cardio. (From everything I have ever read)

the best way to maximize your cardio, is to do it first thing in the morning before eating. then having a small meal i.e. protein shake and fruit. then 1.5-2 hours after that eat your full breakfast. then eat small meals every three hours to keep your metabolism up the rest of the day.

with that said. there is no substitute for a solid diet. if you can control your diet sufficiently cardio is not as important. some of the top body builders (stan mcquay, dexter jackson) dont do any cardio before their contests. they shred down to 4% body fat on diet alone.
