HIIT frequency?

[jon1026]

Currently doing HIIT 3x/week. Normally I'll use the treadmill and do a 5 min warm up followed by 15 minutes of intervals then finish up with a 5 min cool down. Is HIIT better than traditional cardio for cutting up? Should one alternate days of HIIT and traditional cardio? Is it ok to do HIIT in the morning before breakfast?
