I don't feel going hardcore a few months of the year is the way to go. Sure he might lose a pound a day eating small amounts of food and urinating like crazy (not fun), but it doesn't sound like an especially good way to keep the weight off. One certainly would not look forward to these sessions. It can be difficult to keep weight cycling up in the long run and some doctors believe it can cause psychological problems (ie. like PIX) and increase health risks. Hence his disclaimer =) Don't get sucked in by the idea of weight cycling. Just have patience. It's about breaking old habits and forming new ones. Your goal should be to exercise regularily while still eating a balanced diet.
I would do the walking until you feel you're ready you can jog a reasonable amount of time. Or jog 5, walk 1. Something like that. I know I said have patience but walking is like wasting time:PYou could probably burn off more calories in 10 minutes of jogging then you could in 30 minutes of walking.
Good luck.
