Question 1

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 2

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 3

i am curious as to how many miles a day should i walk to lose weight?

Accepted Answer

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 4

so i'm curious if i become a vegetarian and walk 60 to 90 minutes a day, will i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Vegetarianism actually works as a method of weight loss because the stuff you eat doesn't taste as good and there's less tendency to overeat. It's actually a smart move, but if you do become a vegetarian, you'll want to supplement or you'll ruin your health. Your physician is your best guide here.

Question 5

can you tell me if i cut out fried foods and sweets and walk one hour a day will i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

If: your calories burned are greater than those consumed through out the day - then yes, you are likely to lose weight. Good luck with this endeavor.

Question 6

how can i lose the weight from lyrica.i walk 5km every day, eat very little and still cant lose weight.it is a great drug. many thanks?

Accepted Answer

Not easy: Keep a detailed diary of all of your intake for a week or so. You may be eating/drinking more than you realize. After review of the diary, reduce you intake by at least 30%. With increasing age, it is harder to lose weight due to slowing of metabolism.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

i've been walking/ 4 +miles a day to get to 10,000 steps as far as weight loss if i eat will & walk will i lose weight quickly..?

Loosing weight too: fast can be dangerous.  See your doc first, and then consider lower carb and higher protein intake.  Exercise daily if possible, even brisk walking 20-30 minutes is helpful.  Above all, like yourself and others no matter what the scale says.  Peace and good health.  "Disease Proof" by David Katz provides a healthy blueprint for life.

Yes!: You bet!  Just don’t make your goals too big - 40 minutes a day might be a lot - maybe start with 3x/week?  Or 20 min daily?  Along with your plan to cut down on calories!  Be sure to check with your doctor with any new symptoms after starting exercise - especially with any chest pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness, etc.

Question 9
