Walking in itself will not make you lose weight but some sort of exercise is pretty essential for health. When you are walking yiu are bound to burn more calories than sitting still.

If yiu are really heavy other forms of exercise will be uncomfortable just now. If yiu start to lose the weight through reducing food intake then other forms of exercise will become easier and will accelerate the weight loss.

Just keep walking every day or even more than once a day. It's good for you as it exercises the heart and lungs and improves circulation. It's also good to go for a walk we food cravings become too much.

Good luck

I can tell you from my own experience that walking DOES make a difference! On You Tube, look up the walking videos by Leslie Sansone..She is wonderful and has videos for the 1 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile walks and I just love how she is so encouraging! Don't give up! You can do this!

Blessings,

Lynne

Walking, especially if brisk, does help a bit.

I lost a lot of weight eating healthily and walking. I went on long walks. i.e. 6 miles in a day at a high speed. I was obese at the time of losing weight and (do not quote me on this as I'm not entirely sure!) but you lose weight easier when you're heavier because you need more energy to maintain your weight.

Also, for me, walking helped as a distraction from eating.

Good luck :)

Don't know what is your weight but unless you reduce carbs howsoever intense exercise you do your weight is not gonna reduce. Go for very low carb diet. Lchf. Take plenty of good fats. And you will be able to reduce your weight significantly. Keto diet if you are very obese.

One of the easiest quick weight loss tips you can do is to start drinking ice cold water. The temperature of the water will actually burn more calories as your body will have to work to warm it up. You can also try diet pills that work fast without exercise[nuez-dela-india.com/natural...]. Avoid Eating out as it could be dangerous to your weight loss efforts. Restaurant foods and fast foods are generally jam-packed with extra salt, sugar and fats.

Hope this could help you.
