![]() ![]() How many pounds do you need to lose? How quickly do you want to lose them? How much do you eat in a wrote: So - my diet is pretty bad. ![]() If you eat a sensible diet between (I'm guessing) 1300-2200 calories, then it might be possible to just walk without habit changes. If you eat a pint of ice cream a day, plus 3000 calories, then no I don't think so. Is it possible to just walk, and not change habits? Depends on how bad your habits are. To lose weight it's pretty simple, you have to eat less or increase physical activity, or both. I've dropped 63 pounds mainly walking, but also because of my diet changes. Basically if you can 300-600 active minutes a day, IE 4-6 hours of exercise, you pretty much can eat anything you want. While a few people can work off a bad diet, most of us mortals cannot. Good shoes (1/2 size bigger than you normally wear), and stretching are key to avoiding injuries. But I have walked 700 miles, and during that time I've had issues like Runner's Toe, Loose Kneecap, pulled tendons, and a calf strain/partial tear.

I walked for about 5 months, and was eating 3000+ calories back then. **ahem** that getting older part! I was 41 back then, and I was 235 lbs when I started. I used to eat 3000-4000 calories a day, and I ballooned to 281 pounds.īack in 2007, I tried walking only, and I was walking 3 miles every other day, in around 48 minutes. I'm eating around 1800 calories a day, mainly the same foods, with smaller portions, and a lot more vegetables. I have lost 63 lbs.īUT I also changed my diet. Right now I'm walking again every day until I rebuild the muscle strength I lost sitting around for 3 weeks waiting to heal. I recenlty swapped out every other day for cycling, but due to a calf injury while walking, I was unable to walk for 3 weeks. ![]()
