This is a lot of intellectualizing about a very simple concept. If we assume that increasing physical exertion (force) over a given unit time will increase the caloric expenditure (obvious, since energy is the variant, and energy is, after all, heat) over that same unit of time, then where is the mystery? Increase the energy expenditure, and you increase the amount of tissue burned to produce the energy. All that is required is finding a way to instruct the body to get the energy form the fat cell preferentially. So, the first objective is to increase the intensity, and the second objective is to prioritize fat as the primary energy source.
The first objective is easily met. We can compute the force needed by using the equation F=ma, and we will quickly see that on a level surface, the factors are: leg turn over speed, stride length, and body weight. Obviously, this means that it is possible for a fast walk to be more effective than a slow run, provided the striding is done correctly. This also illustrates why sprints are the obvious choice for high intensity--you have maximum turn over, stride length, and bodyweight propulsion. That equals maximum energy output.
Ok, now about this muscle wasting idea. First off, muscle yields much less energy per pound, about 600 calories in fact. So it seems to vanish at a pretty good rate once it starts burning. But we can tap fat first, simply by entering into ketosis. Well, some of us are pretty close to ketosis in the morning, at least a lot closer than we are at night. We may even be close enough to deplete the glycogen within the first few minutes of cardio, and thereby we tap our fat stores pretty early in the routine.
Now what I do is this. I take about a gram or so of ALA along with my energy drink, sans calories, and hit the sauna until I feel that lightheadedness come on. Then, I hit the treadmill and start those windsprints. I always have a bottle of orange juice right there, and when things get dicey, I sip that juice.
This works, people. This works better than anything else, if you can pull it off.
In second place is a fast uphill walk with weights. Just hit the ALA and sauna/xenadrine, and get a couple of five pound dumbells, put the incline at a maximum and walk uphill at four mph for thirty minutes. Do it first thing in the am on an empty stomach, for the reasons mentioned above.
I don't know what this contrary analysis/skepticism from this Nelson guy is stemming from, but at first glance it looks an awful lot like arrogance.
Its real simple. Get a ketostick, try the above exercise regimen, and see the results for yourself. The stick will tell you what you already guessed, and within a week, the fat will be visibly lessened.
Add to this the presence of a good anticatabolic, such as trenbelone or winstrol, and you will have absolutely no trouble whatsoever getting lean in short order. It isn't easy at all, but it sure is effective.
After all, the question of muscle wasting is the only real valid one, and that question is effectively answered by that ever reliable fina/winny stack. Both can keep muscle in place even in a calorie deficit, and that is without any exercise whatsoever. I can fire enough fina/winny and just eat less, and I will start looking ripped, all the while staying pretty strong. When I add those sprints and uphill walks with weights, I get from seven percent to around four or finve within two weeks, easy.
Plenty of pics of me around here to prove this, folks.
Best of luck.
