1) Prove it. Show me studies, not just repeating your claims.

2) Prove that this protocol is more efficient for someone without time to do that much cardio.

3) Prove that this will spare muscle tissue.

ie, define the context or you're just shooting off at the mouth.

Long walking at a good pace or running steady will ALWAYS trump HIIT for calorie burn because you can not keep up HIIT that long. The amount of caloris burned by EPOC are not that significant to make up the difference.
That'll be decided when you reference your claims, won't it?

Neverminding the fact that you're still ignoring context.
