How much weight will you lose if you walk 5 miles daily?

Answer 1

It depends on your diet.

IMPROVING ANSWER: If you don't change your diet at all, then it will depend on how much effort it takes you to walk a mile, or five. Are you fat and get all sweaty and out-of-breath as you walk? Then you might burn 900 calories an hour, or maybe 1200 calories during each 5-mile walk.

But if you are already in good shape and fit and used to exercise, then walking 5 miles might not take much effort out of you. Maybe only 600 calories for each day's walking.

But whatever amount of calories you burn up when walking, you will need to burn up about 3,500 calories "extra" to lose each pound of body fat.
