You would stay at 2:1 fatrotein as long as you are overweight. It's just that after the first 3-4 weeks your stored fat would be flowing better, as I understand it.

I also use the .8 for carbs because I don't feel well with under 40g of carb. His book has both - confusing and we can't ask.

What's your heart rate for that brisk walk?

I did better when I made sure my heart rate was no higher than 70% of heart rate max, or just 110 beats per minute. That is a very slow walk at my size! Any more and I'm pretty sure I was getting into sugar-burning, cortisol, and inflammation like Mark Sisson talks about in "Chronic Cardio."

I am 5'2" and medium boned. Or maybe small, who knows, i have never been small .
