Advice for walking?

Question

I walk at approximately 2.5 MPH for 4.5 Miles a day. I do this in two 2.25 increments and it usually takes me around 48 minutes to walk each 2.25 mile segment.

I'm 6'2", 275lbs with an XL frame (bones).

I was wondering how many calories in each segment I was burning? Also how many pounds would I lose in a week of pure fat? How long for visual results?

Answer 1

forget about the # of cals burned during exercise, it's a waste of time tracking that, counting calories is sufficient. make sure that you consume at least the amount of calories that your BMR requires to keep the metabolism functioning normally. the diet ultimately determines the shape of the body and the rate of fat loss or the rate of muscle gain. the cleaner your diet the faster you will see results from exercise. make sure not to drop your calories to rapidly as that has an adverse effect on the metabolic rate, always decrease them slowly by 10% a week

you should see some weight loss after several days but it will take a good 2-3 weeks before measurable fat loss will occur
