[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, interesting. I am not OP but I just lost 15 lbs from cutting calories and would like to lose 15 more lbs. I thought running would help but I see it will not. I am confused though. Why are people always raving about walking 10k in a day and losing weight from it?[/quote]

Wear some kind of tracker and you will be see that the calorie differential is not as vast people think between walking and running. It just *feels* like you do a whole lot more when running. Walking doesn’t increase your hunger like running.

Look up NEAT. [/quote]

The calorie difference is large if you consider people only have a certain amount of time. If I have four hours to exercise per week, I can choose to walk 20km or run close to 50km. Clearly running is a lot more exercise given I am covering more than twice the distance and so I am going to burn a lot more calories.

In addition running raises your metabolic rate for a certain period after you finish. The tracker does not take that into account.[/quote]

If you thought I was discussing the difference between running for 60 minutes per day and waking for 60 minutes per day and then sitting around all day,  I’m sorry my post was not clear. That’s not what I was discussing. That’s  why I suggested OP look up NEAT. [/quote]
