I'm trying to lose fat. I've read that for losing fat you should run at a steady pace over a long period of time, on the other hand I've read other people saying that HIIT is the optimal way to lose fat. Tell me, /fit/ which one is right?

Neither and both. Do whatever you want. HIIT is not for beginners because to actual do it the way it was meant to be done requires you being able to sprint for quite a while. Most of the shit /fit/fags claim as HIIT is just them running at moderate speed for a minute and then walking or sprinting for 30 seconds and resting for 3 minutes. HIIT is sprinting like a fucker then resting for about the same time it took you to sprint, you're not supposed to recover completely. Same with the interval runs, you increase speed viciously for a minute then jog for a minute. Overall beginners can do anything out of the norm and generally get metabolic results, go ahead and try steady pace and build a cardiovascular foundation. (Sprints also work you anaerobically which means it's equivalent to weight training in terms of muscle fatigue).

Yeah, circuit training. OP, there is no reason why you can do some circuit training (8-20+ reps on 5-10+ exercises back to back, resting for 2-3 minutes and then repeating it) and then do some steady state cardio later (preferably on road running or atleast treadmill).

Though, I stopped the treadmill and chose to wait out until I lose 20 more pounds before I do it again. I'm at 245 right now.
