Calories Burned By Walking



How many miles a day would you suggest you should walk before you start burning calories??

Part of that hunger may actually be thirst. Be sure first you take in adequate water or juice,
before during and after your walks...(but watch sugar/calorie content with juices). Your body is
probably craving carbs to replace what you are burning. Go easy on the bread, pasta, enriched flours
and try to stick with a good chicken breast salad or even a low-sugar yogurt with fruit. You need a
good mix of carbs and protein along with adequate liquids to keep you feeling satisfied without
overdoing it. If you know you're going to "pig out" at any meal, as a rule, downsize your other
meals througout the day and stay at the proper calorie intake for your goal weight.
