I'm curious: what is the basis for the above assertion? Why would it be counterproductive to walk for more than 1 hour to lose weight? Assuming one's goal was to lose weight via the treadmill, how would you know what the most effective time would be?
FWIW, I like to do the Fartlek pattern, which varies my treadmill's elevation between -2% and +9% incline. It is a good conditioning routine.
