Default Is that glucophase you're taking??

With all due respects to Designer Supps (whose Melt Point product looks awesome), you might want to rethink its use post workout.

It causes hypoglycemia, flat out, in those of us who are carb sensitive (insulin resistant). Yeah, yeah, I know its advocated for this purpose. My reaction to it was that it make me more tired and I failed to lose weight on it.

If you're wanting to improve insulin sensitivity response, why not just use MP? That's one of the products underplayed points, in my opinion...plus, as advertised, it not only causes release of stored fat and blocks reuptake, it promotes transport to mito and use as alternate energy source.

Plus, its a lipid balance regulator. I would couple it with Niacin, and cautious use of ALA (to avoid the same issues with unintentional overcontrol of blood sugar and hypoglycemia).

So what is the deal with the walking (other than to stretch and reoxygenate muscles in between workouts).

The only way I have ever been able to cut and maintain lean muscle mass is to keep calorie intake the same and increase energy out put...either by cardio or cardio like activitieis (like use of ass kicking PL exercises like complexes).

One thing that the cardio is very good for...offsetting accumulated low level stress (on top of daily stress) from lifting. By re-regulating breathing at the abdomen and shutting off tight shallow breathing from the solar plexus (absolutely ingrained response to chronic low level daily stress, worsening as you age).

Increase your oxygenation levels, decrease stress...increase BMR, just by breathing correctly - ahh, thats all the time, not just during cardio or lifting.

Good way to help kickstart losing weight and to reset resistant metabolism.
