Strength vs cardio and changing my regime?
I joined a gym today and the trainer has told me two things that I am a little confused about:
1. I should cut down on my cardio. OK, but I though I needed the cardio for fat loss? I am not overweight (bmi 21) just looking to lean down so nothing to do with stress on the joints or anything. Can I keep running?
2. I will put on a few pounds in the next couple of weeks as my muscles swell, before the fat begins to come off. Is this true? How long before I this phase is reversed?
Thanks!

If you are looking for strength its best to cut down on cardio a little bit.. While exercising to get into shape, body weight or not, you still burn off muscle if worked too much. There is a saying that if you use your muscle too much you can burn the muscle than the fat. Just a tip there.
Usually takes a few weeks to get your body used to the regime and will set its own course to loosing weight.
