Walking to lose weight?

Question

How many calories can you burn by walking?

Answer 1

this is entirely dependant on how long your walk, what the conditions are where your walking, how much you weigh and how fast your pace is. here is a website that will help calculate that for you taking in various important factors: http://www.self.com/fitness/activity/calculators/walking

if you are walking on pavement it takes less caloric expendature than if you are walking on a rocky unstable hiking trail. if you have no option but to walk on pavement then try adding 20% of your weight to a back pack to maximize caloric burn.

Answer 2

Is it really necessary to keep count.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
