The primary purpose and benefit of walking, from the view point
of eliminating the negative effects of binge
eating, is loosing weight.
And when it comes to
body weight, please keep the following rule
in mind: 1 pound = 3500 calories. For every pound
you want to lose, you must burn 3500 calories worth
of energy.
Walking will cause
you to expend about 100 calories per mile. While
that might not seem like a lot, consider that most
people already average about 3 miles through the
course of their day.
By adding an
enjoyable morning jaunt or a brisk evening walk you
could easily move 4 miles a day. If do this 4 times
a week, you can burn 1600 calories! That's half a
pound of extra weight gone.
Adding more steps
to your day while reducing the need to binge,
through emotional coaching, will ensure your weight
loss success.
