Can ramping up exercise/walking/two a days make an actual difference in weight loss?

| I am eating very clean and balanced. My calories are reasonable. Not too low and not too high. I’m eating no white sugar or processed food. |

| It will if you keep your calories constant. The trick is not eating more, which your body will want to do with the extra activity |

| Yes! Muscle burns more calories than fat. Any exercise helps. Just don’t eat back your calories. |

| Two days? No, that's completely insignificant. It needs to be at least 5 days |

This. Early in the pandemic, I lost 22 lbs because I suddenly had time to exercise. |

No, OP wrote "2 a days", meaning walks twice each day. And yes, OP. All these things will make a difference. Your body will want more food though as a Pp already stated and you will probably need additional sleep to recover if this is a large ramp up for you. |

Two a days. Meaning working out twice daily. |

| I’ve noticed that I seem to burn more (and have more energy) by splitting my walks in half — 1.5-2.5 miles morning, and 1.5-2 evening. I also walk for any mid day errands. |

| Yes, you can lose weight by eating clean and walking, if you do it at a fast clip, not a leisurely stroll. Down 17 pounds since my covid weight peaked. 10-15 to go |

As long as you don't expect more than very small weight loss each month, like 1-2 pounds a month, and like everyone else said, keep the eating exactly the same. But it will come off, slow and steady. Keep at it and good for you!

| Yes. My friend has lost 62lbs from eating clean and walking. But, he walks roughly 13km/day. He's only 13lbs from his GW. |
