Walking is one of the more efficient ways to lose fat. But you need to walk correctly, keep your speed very low and your walk time very long. When you walk your body doesn't need to access glycogen stores in the muscle, liver or glucose in the blood. It wants to naturally save those for Fight or Flight, so since your activity level is very low it can use your fat as fuel because it has enough time to covert it to energy. If you start speeding up it can't convert the fat fast enough and starts to use the Glucose/Glycogen in your body.

I've lost 100lbs Fasting/Keto/Walking (approx 280lbs/127Kg ===> 180lbs/82Kg) over a period of 2 years. I've experimented what is best for me and it was rolling 72 hour fasts/walking for a couple to a few weeks and then switching things up to keep my body guessing (Longer fasts/OMAD). I feel like being in Ketosis during those fasts and eating extremely clean was the most helpful. Cole from the SnakeDiet Youtube Channel was basically the guy I followed, he is natural and doesn't use PED, just diet and exercise.

That "before" photo: the fellow is pushing his belly out and holding his chin in to make himself look fatter than he actually is. Why would he do that, do you suppose?


There is some intentional bloating, etc in that first picture but he still naturally dropped some serious weight to get ripped. The guy practices what he preaches and has great advice.
