You can only lose weight by walking you are keeping your calories at a deficit.
Even at that, every body type is different and people will respond differently to it even if they keep the calories down. I know a few people who have done everything right and still could not lose weight by walking. When walking alone don't do it for you, its time to change things up. I also have a gym membership.
Walking is very good exercise to lose weight as well as there are many health benefits of regular walking. It is very good for heart and lungs and you can continue it without any side effects.
ALL have found that body weight is INVOLUNTARILY regulated by a robust biological system.
YOU are forcing the evidence of reality and experiment to conform to your BELIEFS.
Exercise has very little impact. There are enormous amounts of obese exercisers who are dedicated. Especially over the long term.
All of Friedman;'s work has been REPLICATED many times. Friedman himself relp[icated PIONEER Dr Douglas Coleman- one of the greatest obesity scientists all time. THIS INFO is iN THE CANNON OF SCIENCE:
i want to see a study- not some nabob on a you tube video.
How much are you being paid to post, anyway?
I am rapidly tiring of your nonsense.
i just gave you the link to one of the greatest scientists who studies obesity whose work has been replicated. Watch the video. DR. JEFFREY FRIEDMAN- TOP GENETICIST
THE MEN I MENTIONED ARE NOT SAESMEN . THEY ARE INTERNATIONALLY RESPECTED SCIENTISTS WHOSE WORK CHANEGD PARADIGMS, EDUCATED OTHER SCIENTISTS AND LED TO GAINED HUMAN KNOWLEDGE.
I tire of your nonsense and baselesss beliefs...........
I'm a 5'5" tall woman and I walked off about 60 pounds over the course of 7 months, going from 185 down to 125 at age 38. I found that my diet did change as I craved better food and less junk.
I was in terrible shape at the beginning and my walks where rather short and I carried nothing. As time went by I increased my mileage, carried an ever increasing weight in my backpack and was up to about 60 miles a week.
I then went on a 6 day backpacking trip in the high Sierra's, going 50 miles with a pack that started at nearly 60 pounds. I consumed about 4,500 to 5,000 calories a day on that trip and still lost 7 more pounds.
The hard part was after returning I had to adjust to eating a more normal volume of food. It took a bit of self control but I did return to proper levels after a couple of days.
Walking works for me. Walking always has been my primary exercise; 14 years ago I started walking 6 days a week, working up to 3.5 miles a day. So far I've maintained a 140-pound weight loss.
I walk 2 to 3 miles a day on the weekday, depending on my schedule, and on the weekends will walk 3 to 6 miles. I take Mondays off.
