Can I shed weight by walking?

This question is part of the Q&A series on Fitness that has been answered by Ms. Kiran Chhabra, Fitness Expert.

If you are overweight then you need to shed start with a mild walk to build up on your stamina. Once you are able to walk continuously for 45 mins without a break, start timing your walk and slowly increase your speed or increase distance, for the same time span. Walking alone would not help you to achieve your goal. One needs to control the diet too in order to loose weight.

Try figure 8 walking, offers more pros. You lose weight faster, control blood flow, mental balance, eye sight is benefitted, mental peace, hormonal balance and most of all, all unwanted fat in the body gets dissolved. You can lose up to 3 kgs with no diet system. with healthy diets, you can lose up to 7 kgs. Diet restriction means nothing specific, just take lots of veggies and fruits.

For those want to lose weight by eating, try bajra porridge, it has proteins to build muscles. so, you will lose fat when you do workouts faster.
