How long would it take to lose weight by just eating healthy with no exercise?
Question:
Answers:
with no exercise, you weight loss will be slow.
just to lose one pound, you will need to cut back 3500 calories a week, or 500 calories a day.
As long as you're burning more calories than you're taking in, you should lose weight. That's the common denominator.

the best thing to do is figure out how many calories you require a day. Now cut that by 500 calories. 3500 calories = 1 pound of fat. So it will take you 1 week to lose a pound. You can increase this further by adding some exercise.
You have to exercise as well. Your body will just slow its metabolism down to cope with the loss of calories plus it will attack your muscle cells first. Overall you will feel very sluggish as your body attacks itself for nutrients. You should just start walking around the neighborhood every other day if you don't like exercising.
Slower than if you exercised.
I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for more than a year.
Details such as my experience, meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog.
