Best Cardio for fat loss?

I am 210 down from about 223 in the past few weeks. I am 32 and about 5 foot 5 inches. I really want to maximise my weight loss in the run up to christmas and I feel I have my diet under control and am eating 6 small clean meals a day totalling about 1200 to 1500 calories a day.

I feel a bit lost with my work out plan though. I got a book by Michael Thurmond who advises to stick to long moderate exercise (such as walking briskly on the treadmill or outdoors with no incline) and 3 sessions of weight training a week. The people he works seem to get really great results but it goes against the more typical advice of doing interval training. I think that Thurmond’s idea is that interval training is good for fitness but bad for weight loss as it takes you out of the maximum fat burning zone. I do want to get really fit but I’d really like to focus on fat loss at the moment. Which method do you think is best?

Tae bo works for me. There are programs that focus on cardio as well as others that do core training, etc. The cardio, however, is a great work out and in addition to burning fat, you also build muscle. I’ve also heard that P90X is a great program, though very rigorous.
