It is about 100: Calories per mile (give or take). It takes 3, 500 calories to lose a pound. If you make no changes to your diet - the amount you walk will be determined by the desired rate of weight loss.

Question 3

my mother have tribology. how can she walk to lose weight up to ideal weight?

Accepted Answer

Confused: Tribology is the science that studies friction, lubrication and wear phenomena.  I have never heard of it as a medical condition.  Walking is always helpful to promote calorie burning and increasing the metabolic rate.  Unfortunately, it takes a lot of walking to burn enough calories.  The realistic answer to most weight problems is doing a combination of lower calorie diet and exercise.

Question 4

yesterday i strapped on a pedometer and found that i walked more than 16000 steps at 3.5 kph. if i walk this much daily will this help me lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If possible add some sprints to that for 30 seconds

Question 5

if i walk 90 min. will i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Exercise for weight : If you are overeating it is virtually impossible to exercise for weight loss! a typical fast food meal of fries, burger and shake can exceed 1200 calories which, wven with intense exercise would take 6 hours to burn of with just exercise. Exercise control over what you eat.

Question 6

can i lose weight if i walk 3 miles a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If your calorie intake remains lower than your calories burned. You will burn roughly 100 calories per mile that you walk.

Question 7

how long do you have to walk a day to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Walking of weight: Hours! weight loss needs caloric reduction as well! try starting with 30minutes of walking and  adding a minute every walk to build up to over an hour. If you are already walking over an hour, carry a back back or weights.

Question 8

if i walk 2.5 miles 5 days a week will i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: In reality, it depends on your intake. If you burn more calories than you take in, then you will lose weight. Walking is definitely a good way to burn calories. Be sure to eat a diet low in animal products and processed foods and avoid alcohol and soda. Hope this helps!

Question 9

will i lose weight if i walk 30 minutes a day at  3mph?

Accepted Answer

Exercise & weight: Very likely, yes.  Effective weight loss is found when one combines a high protein, low calorie diet with good regular moderate exercise.  Walking is ideal. The issue is that you must be walking fast enough to get your heart rate to about 120 BPM and keep it there for at least 20 to 30 minutes. This form of exercise then leads to burning off of fat and excess sugars.

Question 10

what is a good way to lose weight? i makes it hard for me to walk a long way at for a long time

Accepted Answer

Nutrition &amp; exercise: Best way to lose weight is slowly over time. Don't plan on dramatic loss. Change your eating habits. Research DASH, Mediterranean &amp; vegetarian diets (most studies demonstrating health benefits). Develop habit of doing something every day, even if only for a few minutes. Gradually build up duration &amp; intensity. Check w/your Family Doc to make sure you're otherwise healthy. Good luck!
