1. What is the Weight Loss Walking Formula?

The weight loss formula calculates how much weight you can lose from walking based on the difference between calories burned and calories consumed. It's based on the principle that 1 kg of body weight equals approximately 7700 kcal.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss formula:

Where:

• \( Calories\_burned \) — Calories burned through walking (kcal)
• \( Calories\_consumed \) — Calories consumed through food (kcal)
• 7700 — Approximate calories equivalent to 1 kg of body weight

Explanation: The formula shows that weight loss occurs when you burn more calories than you consume, with 7700 kcal deficit resulting in approximately 1 kg of weight loss.

3. Importance of Calorie Balance

Details: Understanding the relationship between calorie intake and expenditure is crucial for effective weight management through walking and other physical activities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter calories burned from walking and calories consumed through food. Both values must be positive numbers. The result shows estimated weight loss in kilograms.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is the 7700 kcal per kg rule?
A: It's an approximation - individual results may vary based on metabolism, body composition, and other factors.

Q2: How can I estimate calories burned walking?
A: Use fitness trackers, walking apps, or formulas based on distance, speed, and body weight.

Q3: Is walking alone enough for weight loss?
A: Walking can contribute significantly, but combining with dietary changes typically yields better results.

Q4: How often should I walk for weight loss?
A: Consistency is key - most recommendations suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.

Q5: Does walking speed affect weight loss?
A: Faster walking burns more calories per minute, but duration and total distance are also important factors.
