Walking help lose weight ?

Question

So today I went for a walk, I'd say 20+ mins, then after dinner walked 17 mins. I had put a stop watch on because I qas curious. But does walking help lose weight. Even know I was light walking.  Not speeding walking. As I find it feels weird now that I am 25 weeks pregnant.

Answer

Walking is great way to get into exercise!! You absolutely can lose weight just from walking. Keep it up and try and do longer every day.

Answer

Not really. To lose weight you need to burn more than you consume, walking usually doesn't burn that many calories.

Answer

Losing weight is like 80% diet 20% working out. If you're not eating right, half hour walks won't do anything.

Answer

My doctor told me you really don't need to lose weight during pregnancy. During the first trimester it's normal, but after that you should maintain or gain the recommended amount. Even if you're overweight, you shouldn't aim to lose any. Just exercise to maintain and keep from getting too big and risking gestational diabetes. I'm no doctor, but that's what mine told me.
