Read it. Replied to it. We agree to disagree on this or perhaps you didn't read my post. In either case it's all good.
My main point is that I have lost about 16 lbs of fat while I've actually added 8 or 9 pounds of lean muscle mass to my frame following (although not religously - because I like to eat) the Body for Life plan. If you feed your body a high quality diet of low fat sources of protiens, high quality COMPLEX carbs, and a lot of good old h2o you have not to worry about losing muscle from short, intense cardio workouts on an empty stomach. I like the way I look and feel which is what matters most to me. In my case (and hundreds of others who use B.F.L.) I did not lose muscle when using cardio on an empty stomach. Again...maybe we just agree to disagree so it's all good.
