Good point. And in reading my earlier post, its obvious that I forgot to mention that I would want to minimize the amount of "non-fat" sources that I burn during this experience, hence the low-intensity workouts. So, yes, I realize that the high-intensity could burn just as much fat in a shorter period, but I do want to keep the (little?) muscle that I have. I'm carrying more than enough fat on my frame to fuel me through this - the last thing that I need to do is deflate my biceps
