Cut Back on Sweets and Keep Walking!

According to the Mayo Clinic physical activity alone will not help you to lose weight. You must eat few calories every day.

“Because 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. So if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'd lose about 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).”

This doesn’t mean you can give up that walking program. Studies also show that people that exercise or have daily physical activity tend to maintain a healthy weight more often than those that just crash diet.
