Do you guys do cardio when cutting?
>lifting for 9 months
>start cutting 5 weeks ago
>down 8kg
>didn't do any cardio
I'm eating around 2000 calories a day.
I'm 6'5 tall and 220lbs (19-20% bf)

Sure, when I want to eat a little more than my limit.

That you loose weight primarily with cardio is a myth. Cardio is great, don't get me wrong, it's excellent for your health, better than lifting weights actually, but for loosing weight and reduce body fat it's useless. Plenty of Bodybuilder don't give a fuck about Cardio, even Zyzz said it is healthy, but it doesn't really help to get ripped (yeah yeah, he died, but not because he didn't do Cardio, he was fucking 21, he die because of the heat and because he had a heart failure).

this. cardio is for heart health, and it can allow you to eat more calories. Its all about cal in vs cal out. Cardio just burns calories is all. Ive done 0 cardio on my cut and made great progress
At least half of that 8kg wasn't fat. The first few weeks of cutting include a lot of water weight and digestive mass loss too.
Anyway, you should do cardio no matter what your diet is. It is healthy.
Also, 99% of people will get better cutting results if they do cardio often. Yes, calorie intake is the real important factor, but eating 2500kcal and doing 500kcal of cardio will give you better results than eating 2000kcal and doing no cardio.
The more active you are the more your body will support a hormonal environment that favors lean mass.
