Walking 3 hours everyday.....?

Question

Would that help me lose around 20 pounds my April 1?
That along with a healthy diet and around 1100 calories a day.
I would go for a 30 min walk in the morning, and 1 and 1/2 hour work in the afternoon, and a 1 hour walk in the evening.
I have time and I am in enough shape to be able to do it.
My main goal is to lose my stomach fat by summer.

I'm 5'4 and 138 pounds. I naturally dont have a very big appatite, so I usually only eat around 1300 calories a day anyway.
I would be walking pretty fast.

Answer 1

Walking is good exercise. Depending on your weight and age an 1100 calorie a day diet may be to little.

You burn calories depending on weight, X number of calories per hundred pounds walking X miles per hour. So depending on how fast you walk and how much you weigh you will lose more or less calories.

There are 4000 calories in a pound of fat so without knowing how much fat you want to lose, how much you weigh, how fast you are walking or any of the other details the only answer you can get is either an uneducated answer or no answer.

That said, walking is still good exercise and if you wear good shoes and take good care of your feet walking will help you lose weight and be healthier.

The post before mine is also very good advice, although without knowing your health it is safer to suggest walking than doing wind sprints.

Answer 2

That's excessive cardio. Instead, run sprints every day for 15min, it will increase your hormone levels of T2 and T3, causing your body to shed fat quicker.

Also, instead of just eating 1100 calories, eat your normal amount (say 1800) but eat 5 to 7 small meals a day, focusing on protein and vegies.
