It takes burning 3500 calories to lose a pound.  (uh-oh, I see where this is headed)
At 62 calories/mile that works out to just under 56 and a half miles. To lose one pound.  |
But if you took a short walk after eating, your body would burn simple carbohydrates firs, lessening the need for an insulin response that inhibits lipolysis and decreases whole-body lipid oxidation. It's not just a calories in, calories out equation.
