Question:
Answers:
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.

It depends on how long you walk, how often, what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat.
Eat 5 small meals per day, and walk for at least one hour per day briskly- get yourheart rate up and sweat.

You are going to have to burn up more calories than you take in to create a deficit to lose weight. Doesn't matter if you eat junk or healthy.
Yes, you should. Especially if you are switching from a more sedentary, poor diet regimen. It will not only help you lose weight, but increase your cardiovascular levels, strengthening your heart and making you much more healthier. Good Luck!
weight loss is a long term thing, takes at least as many months or years to take it off as it did to put it on.
Walking regularly and eating a healthy diet will help to lose excess weight, it will tone you and help you to live longer....but it isn't going to happen over night, or even over a month. You should not try to lose more than two pounds a week, lose weight quicker than that and it just tends to come right back on later.
Im not sure about a month. BUT U DO NEED 2 EAT SOME JUNK FOOD!! go 2 www.mypyramid.com, it will tell u how much calories u need.
I don't know how much weight you will lose because it depends on a lot of stuff. It depends on how fast you walk, how much you weigh...but I can tell you how many calories you are likely to burn
walking at 2mph (slow pace) on a flat firm surface you will burn about 120 calories in an hour.
Walking at 3 mph (moderate pace) on a flat firm surface you will burn about 215 calories in an hour
walking at 3.5 (brisk) will do 258 calories an hour.
If you go uphill or go hiking you will burn more. To get specifics, go to www.fitday.com and sign up for a free account. They can tell you how many calories you burn just from carrying your groceries up some stairs, or driving to work for a half hour. (yeah driving actually burns a few calories lol)
they also have a huge database of nutritional facts for certain foods that dont have labels....like an egg. Or an apple.
If you eat about 1200 calories a day and walk 45-90 minutes a day you could lose up to 5 pounds a week.
