I don't know, if there has been such a change I have not noticed consciously. I do know that being in certain states before in my life I would lose weight really quickly but this is nothing like that.

No. I actually train pretty hard regularly in general and I train less here in the USA. (Due to reasons outside my control currently)

So a bit of walking is hardly going to affect this.

Well, I do have to work out to build muscle :| though it happens easily... nice magic here for those people.
