Interesting....again, this all sounds plausible, but is also contradictory with other perfectly plausible theories, some even in this same thread (whether low intensity cardio is good or bad).

Considering the plateau my wife's hit, I think maybe this is an avenue worth exploring though. She'll certainly be open to the idea of consuming more calories!

You know one thing that sucks, I would be not at all surprised if the average personal trainer at a gym hardly has a clue what they're talking about, not to mention the theoretical approach they subscribe to might not even be correct.
