I lose weight when i walk it works for me

you can if you drink too much water or liquid.

You might gain muscle by walking. Muscle weighs more than fat. So yes....

You may get muscles, which weigh more than fat. It will make it seem as if you haven't lost and maybe actually gained wieght.

Short answer is no, although I am sure there are some hyperthetical answers that could allow a yes answer here.

If you are frieking ou, because yo went for a walk and gained a pound. it is probably an inconsistent scale.

No. Walking burns calories. As an exercise it is not intense enough to actually build significant levels of muscle tissue. As such you shouldn't be gaining weight from walking.

no you can only burn fat and lose weight! other excersices such as lifting weights does make u gain weight because you gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. unless your a wrestler your weight shouldnt matter just if you feel comfortable in your body

Well, typically I would quickly answer as no. It's fairly common knowledge that walkng is aerobic excercise, so it's a weight loss activity only.

In theory I suppose you could temporarily gain weight if you had little to no muscle in the legs. Muscles weighs more than fat, so you might gain a tiny amount as you build some basic walking muscle if it's not already there, but that should stop fairly quickly and everything else would be loss.

Hope this helps.

Maybe. You can gain because walking is an excersize and over time it helps build muscle and muscle adds weight. But if you are overweight you can lose weight (while on a diet) because you will lose fat.

Not slow walking, but fast one
