pakkutz	yes.walking to school helps you to lose weight. on the other hand it also depends on what you eat. let say if you exercise/walk for 30-60 minutes and you ate a lot of food after which are high in fat/calories you exercise/walk is pointless. exercise is a good thing to help you lose weight but make sure u eat a variety of food which is good for you! also u have to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water.

Marla T	If energy intake (ie: food) is LESS than energy expenditure (ie: exercise), there will be a DECREASE in stored energy and you LOSE weight. (Negative energy balance). Therefore you will only lose weight if your exercising increases at a rate higher than your energy intake. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SellWithBarski.COM	Any activity you do daily will burn a few calories. Consistently walking will burn a certain number of calories. Unless you adjust your diet to a point that your consuming less fats and sugars, walking alone may only help to maintain your weight. An example would be if you walked 20 minutes and burned 200 calories. If you take in 3000 calories a day in food and burn 1500 with normal activities, 200 with walking, the remaining 1300 calories are either building mass in your body or being used for other functions. Whatever is left at the end of the day gets added on. The key is to eat healthy enough and stay active enough that your well balanced. You don't need to starve yourself or workout for 8 hours a day. Just live a balanced life. For tips on eating healthy, there are many sites on the web. Search for Healthy Lifestyles as opposed to dieting. Dieting is a short term solution. Consistent healthy living is a life long choice and commitment. You can do it! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thegermanwall	omg yes. here's what i do: do everything that you do with purpose, like walking or opening doors, climbing stairs. push yourself and you'll be able to stay in good shape without officially working out. and only eat when you're hungry. even if it means you hardly eat at all one day, because you'll make up for it the next. let your body find it's own rythme about it. good luck.

Johnny B	Follow this plan: Okay. Cut out eating in between meals. Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta's, rice, cereals, lollies, fruits etc. These are the fat making foods. Learn exactly what your food groups are so you then know what puts the weight on and off. Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks. Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon. If you can jog in between both sessions you'll burn even more calories. But just do what your body lets you do. Walking is just as good combined with diet Control. You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go. If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets. Like “Slim Right”. As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals. If you have to eat something in between have something like small raw carrots or Celery sticks. Herbal teas, low fat milk and water are your best choice of drinks. Summary: Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast. Remember all cereals are carbohydrates! Lunch can best be a protein drink. Like “Slim Right”. And all normal meals at a normal serve. Cut down on potatoes and only have small portions of these. Walking as much as you can. For those that want to build more muscle add some gym work to the above as well. Technical Stuff: All our bodies require a specific quantity of a protein level. The protein is taken from the food we eat. If we eat higher concentrations of protein from specific foods like say meat then that level is reached quickly. If we don’t eat enough protein then our body searches for other sources of protein contained within the Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates only contain a small amount of protein so we end up consuming too much of it just to get out limit of protein. At the same time absorbing too much sugar from the carbohydrates and in turn too much weight. This is how and why we put on weight. Many people over eat because they don’t consume enough protein from the right sources. Then they over compensate by binge eating carbohydrate type foods. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sweetiepie	it will increase your fitness level and stamina and make you more toned, and after a while you may lose a few pounds but it is not really a weight loss exercise. however it will burn off some calories so it is definately worth doing, plus you'll feel much healthier doing it!

Derek Zoolander	Walking for that long will definately help you lose weight in the long run. You might not see great short-term losses, but if you stick with it, you will see a significant amount of weight loss. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Howard	Walking or any exercise, compare to nothing, is good. You will not lose weight just because you walk half an hour on most days but it might help you not to gain weight. If you walk for one hour, very fast, every day, then you will develop muscle mass so you will not lose weight but you will replace some of your fat reserve with muscle mass so you will get thinner and stronger. Losing weight is about using your fat reserve so make sure you eat a little less that what you need so you will use your reserve and the best way to need more than what you eat is to exercise more without eating more. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kacey	Deffo. Unless you compensate for the exercise by eating lots of junk... Walking is a great form of exercise- you actually burn more fat walking than running! Walking (4 mph for 4 miles) - 60 mins 304 calories burnt (for 120lb individual) 380 (150lb) 456 (180 lb) 532 (210lb) 608 (240 lb) Obviously, I don't know how much you weigh or how fast you average walking speed is though... Point is, you burning calories & getting fitter = healthier & slimmer self :) XKX Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
