Wow - two great posts, thanks DH. Most of it I read and pretty much got straightaway, I just wanted to ask one more thing.

I've heard you say, here and elsewhere, that you like low intensity cardio for fatloss. Why is this? I've always heard, get your heart rate up to X, interval training, all this other stuff based on high intensity, same stuff we all hear I'm sure... does low intensity work tend to spare your muscles more, as in preventing you from losing strength? Is it a fatigue management thing? That's the one thing I was curious about in your posts... other than that, thanks a ton, I have some changes to make lol.
