I also walk 5 days a week and I am 74 now on Carnivore and have lost over 50 pounds and feel better than I did in my 60’s. I wish All Dr.s would get it like this Dr. Does!

I’ve been walking since November. I was 293 pounds and very poor cardiovascular health so I walked only about 2000 to 2500 steps a day 7 days a week. I slowly raised those my step count to 15,000 a day during my work days and 17,500 on weekends. I intermittent fast (16:8) and I’m 85 pounds lighter 😊 Walking has not only been great for my physical health but it’s also been great for my mental health. Whenever I feel a bit stressed at work, I take a 10-minute walk around my office building and I’m stress free and I added 2000 steps to my step count. I am consistently dropping 1 to 2 pounds a week.

Walking is far superior. Walk 30 minutes X 3 times per day for 12 weeks, and you'll lean out so much you won't believe it. You'll start to see muscle definition you never thought you had.

@@expat1432 I think what it is, is that running is a pretty intense exercise, so you can only do it for a certain amount of time, and if you do it every day, you'll over train. Not to mention injuries. But the thing I learned after reading quite a bit of research, is that the more your run, (because of the intensity of the activity), the more your body will adapt and start doing the same distance run, for less and less calories. With walking however, it's low intensity, and fully aerobic (performed with oxygen), and with that, your body never seems to lower it's calorie output for the same distance walk. A hour walk I did 10 years ago, still burns 300 calories like the walk I did last night. I've been working with an X girlfriend on her walking routine over the last 5 weeks. We've been using the fitbit to track daily steps. She's always struggled with weight. She is STUNNED at how much reduction in hip, thigh and waist measurements she has achieved in just 5 weeks. By say, September, she will have quite a figure, but she really likes what she is seeing NOW. I learned the effectiveness of walking from a man who's written 17 books on how to achieve ultimate leanness. His recipe is for leanness is hard but limited resistance training, HIIT cardio once per week, a whole foods diet, and plenty of outdoor walking, at least 6 hours per week. Walking reduces appetite, and gets Ghrelin and Leptin hormones working properly in the brain. These two hormones are responsible for hunger signals, and satiety when eating. Extended walking also gets blood glucose levels in check, so hunger and other sugar cravings are significantly reduced. Walking utilizes the large muscle groups of the legs, hips, buttocks and low back, along with some upper back and shoulder swing. It utilizes these larger muscle groups through a full range of motion, continually, against the resistance of gravity. And that is the best cardio then for continued fat loss. Good luck.

This seriously blew my mind. In one period of my life I was doing two hours of running on a treadmill. My diet at the time was mostly carbs and I found it interesting that I would crave fruit and not my usual food after a session. Amazing how the human body works and how it can be so specific in telling you what it wants. Sad that I spent an entire lifetime struggling with my weight. I wish I had this information 40 years ago.

Keep in mind that you will have to leave the house a little bit sooner because it will take longer. But taking longer allows you to take in the scenery & maybe even talk to folks as you pass by.

i was 215 and i joined the gym. i worked 8 hours a day on my feet in a cabinet shop. i didn't eat breakfast just coffee. i had spinach and a can of sardines for lunch. after work i hit the gym and lift weights for an hour. then i went home and ate a stake with no sides, just a plain stake.... i did that for 3 months and i went down to 165. i lost 50 pounds in 3 months. i was never hungry.

I lost weight and belly fat successfully by running and jogging when I was younger. Now that I'm over 50, my knees can't take the jogging so walking has become my new best friend. I regularly walk about 10 miles a week and I'm seeing some weight loss results.

I worked in a medical field and people who run always get surgeries on the hips, knees, ankles, etc. So running is bad for you especially if you are overweight because you will injure your body. Walking, swimming or anything not pounding on your joints are better exercises.

i started a walking program about a year and a half ago. Felt great. I also changed up my diet, and continued intermittent fasting, which I had been doing for some time. Started researching, doing homework, as it was my desire to being running again. Started employing the Maffetone method, along with switching to "barefoot" shoes, with excellent results. The adaptation to the "barefoot" shoes took months, but it was worth it. Your body works so much more efficiently that way. Turned 61 this morning. Celebrated with an 11.5 mile run at sunrise. I love it!

Thank you so much. I have been struggling for shedding a few extra pounds for years. Now I walk everyday at a normal pace and I am shocked to see how my body is slowly getting back in shape. The only effort on my part is commitment to do the walking. Not dreading the sweat inducing high impact exercise so I am really happy.

To lose weight Keto plus OMAD is more sustainable.

I have lost about 20 lbs only in a month and without aerobic exercise, just carrying out my normal daily routine. It just make sense now after watching this video.

OK. Now I understand why coaches tell us to take our long runs at a conversational pace. If I am carrying on a conversation, I'm not huffing and puffing and I am well within the aerobic zone. This maximizes fat loss and aerobic conditioning for the reasons you explained above. Very nice thank-you.

No running for me as I need my new knees to last forever! I know forever is a very long time but with I.F. and healthy keto, I feel like I could live forever.

Thank you lkjacob1.

one of the main reasons I watch these wonderful videos is the balance. No exagerations, no " this is the truth, all the other is wrong".. by the way, no wonder I was so hungry and upset after my frustrating, useless fitness sessions...

I blew out both knees running for decades. I took up cycling and spinning and it helped my knees although I’ll never be able to run again. Don’t ruin your knees, back and hips running. Do low impact walking or spinning.

Can't believe this isn't more widely known. So many false assumptions out there: "Go to the gym to lose weight." "I'm trying to be healthy so I need to stop eating meat, and eat more whole grains." No wonder people aren't reaching their goals. THANK YOU telling the real story, complete with nuance.

I’m glad I have finally found dr.Sten Ekberg breaks everything down and explains everything. That what I have been looking for I’m not asking why anymore

Best explanation I've ever heard and seen! I've never liked running. When I got a dog we would walk up and down my country street 2x a day. 10 min roundtrip. I was shocked at how much weight I was losing! I was 53 y.o. And Yes She Got To Run And Play On The Beach almost everyday but the little short walks were her treat to visit the neighbor dogs. 😊

This question sums up what's happened to the world in the last 30 years. When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, people exercised to get fit, and the aesthetic benefit benefit was ancillary. Nowadays, the objective is aesthetic at the minimum possible cost to and we wonder why obesity has become such a problem.

i like to mix things up: i do cardio 5-7 days week,but i alternat between running 40min, sprinting 5-12 min and walking 40-60 min.Walking is my "rest day" if i feel tired or too sore.Its important to remember the benefits of cardiopulmonar conditioning higher intensities exercises have.

Great information, Dr. Ekberg. Per my profile pic to the left, I went from 247 pounds to 184 in less than 6 months, and I can verify your information in this video and other videos is right on, at least in my experience. I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you for your easy going style and your understandable explanations. You are providing a great service for so many.

Wow - I’m getting ready to get back in shape after a bad injury and during that down time I really put it on - good to see results reported by others as I was having a hard time believing it all

Walking, and walking a lot...is huge for weight loss. I remember back in 2017...I was out walking and fishing with my son all spring and summer...shore fishing...and I got down to 211..and I felt pretty thin lol. Just from shore fishing in warm weather...no running ! My Chiro told me stop jogging (when I did) and walk walk walk...grab lite dumbbells if needed.

Thank you so much for this information it so clear and helpfull I started walking consistently a year ago from 5 km I increased it to 10 km (15k steps) now I am doing 15 km daily and my weight is just falling off I am almost with no clothes to wear currently I want to keep it at 10 miles daily for the next 7 months of this year and go back to 7miles/10 km for as long as I can Thanks again Dr

I'm addicted to running... I've limited myself to running an hour twice a week and I've noticed all the positive things you mentioned sir. I get less cravings this way and I also lose less muscle. Being IS for this us absolutely important. Everything you said is true🙏🏻

It's a pleasure listening and seeing Dr Ekberg's explanations. Wish I had more teachers like him at school, university, at work, etc, etc...

So helpful and easy to understand. Thank you! Was a runner for decades but now mostly walk or jog and lost 20 pounds in 11 months with a reasonable...not restrictive.... diet.

I have been watching many videos of Dr Ekberg. I am always impressed with the penmanship. It looks perfect.

I'm overweight and have been jogging several times per week since the Coronavirus lock down began. Lately I have become concerned about how little weight loss I have experienced to date. This video explained everything I needed to know. Tomorrow I look forward to begin going on nice, long walks instead. I perhaps will resume running once I have lost some weight. Thank you for sharing 👍

Thank you so much for this well explained video! I am a runner and a walker. I've been struggling with hunger control and weight loss every time I run. Now I know why ! Thank you!

Fantastic explanation. When the lockdown started I was running at least 20 miles a week to try to lose weight and I was struggling. I can see that walking makes a lot more sense.

It's strange. I can do stair sprints at full force for 30 seconds X 10, and my cardio is off the charts, but walking for an hour a day at a brisk pace seems to work better for weight loss. You really have to experiment with a wide range of exercise modalities to see what works best for you.

Spent years killing myself on the treadmill!!! Losing weight on keto and feeling great doing IF too!!

I always walk and never run, so looks like am doing the best. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful tips based on science.

Something which wasn't mentioned but I think is really important to that discussion is that running is also useful outside of the whole being healthy stuff. Personally, I kinda dislike running, but I make sure to do it somewhat regularly because it's been useful so many times: when I'm late for a train, when I miss a bus, when there's a sudden change of plan,... Having the ability to quickly and reliably run a few kilometers is just too useful to pass on.

This is a really helpful video. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety 15 years ago and I always wondered why anaerobic cardio made me feel bad. I measured my cortisol recently and it was very high. I now understand the connection between cortisol and cardio and I will be switching to walking, which I enjoy more anyway. I also tried cold showers without understanding that they work by temporarily raising cortisol, which is probably a good thing for many people but wasn't helpful for me with my already high cortisol. This just shows that it's important to understand the mechanisms in order to do the right thing for your situation, because of that I am grateful for your detailed explanations of the mechanisms.

I f’ing Love your videos! I am big man, a family history of hart problems. Simply put, you are saving my life every video.

Thanks for the video... I’ve been a runner all my life and never had a weight problem but this is the First explanation that broke down the difference between walking and running that actually made sense and lately I’ve incorporated more walking into my daily routine.

Go to 23:40 for the answer but only if you are like me, I love Dr. Ekberg but sometimes my head turns and turns and up and down with all the explanations. Sometimes I just need the bottom line. However, I know its very useful and educational. Thank you Doc 🙏

I turned 69 in March 2023. My last physical I was pre-diabetic, my blood pressure was 165/98 on medication. Because of an injury at 19, I'm unable to run. Late last fall I decided to try and get in some reasonable shape as I was dreading ending up like most everyone my age I around me and started walking. My first time was hilarious and scary as I was dizzy and feeling horrible when I stopped at 300 steps. With no other option I kept at it every other day and after a month I was up to over 1500 steps in my neighborhood. Winter came and I stopped. This spring, disgusted with myself I started again. I found a park three miles away with over 3 1/2 miles of walking tracks and started again. Every other day I'd drive to the park and walk. It was TOUGH, but just kept walking every other day. Over time I changed my diet trying to cut down on sweets and carbs. Yesterday June 15th I walked 2.7 miles at a pace of 3.6 miles an hour. I had my annual physical last week and my blood pressure was normal, my blood glucose was normal! I'd lost 15 pounds and I can feel my that my legs are becoming more muscular, there's an actual spring in my step. Looking at pictures from two years ago, I'm stunned at how my face has slimmed down. Hot summers are tolerable and I get actual compliments on how I look. Amazing, just walking consistently.

Thank you! You really have a great way of explaining complex things so that everyone understands them. I really appreciate you covering "well known" topics while still encluding further essential information. In my early 20s I loved running but I had to stop because of joint issues. Once I managed to fix them years later I wanted to start again, but my body kept telling me it's not the right thing. Instead I started doing variations of HIIT and fast walks. I love it. Now I'm 30 and with both, keto/low-carb and IF, I feel just as energetic as I did as teen. It's really incredible for me since my health took a really bad nosedive in mid-20s. All the docs kept telling me I must have bad genetics and wouldn't recover. I did believe them for a while until I felt like I had nothing to lose, so I just started experimenting my own. After a while of eliminating anything which made me feel bad I ended up with keto. Way before I knew that it actually was a thing. 3 years ago I discovered IF, which had another huge impact. From there everything suddenly got so easy since I've got all my energy back. For years I kept listening to my docs and actually thought that something was wrong with me. Nowadays I look at the people I went to school with and how much health issues they have. I almost consider myself lucky that I had my nosedive so early. This way I had the time to correct my lifestyle. Anyway, thanks for educating and giving us some missing puzzle pieces. Greetings from Germanyy!

I've been working on weight loss for the past year with great success. I've learned a bunch of these tidbits over the year from a multitude of sources including dietitians and kinesiologists, but a lot of the "glue" holding the theories together were beyond me. THANK YOU for bringing it all together!

This is the best walking vs running video. Every other video doesn’t even compare. Thanks doc

There was 2 times I lost alot of weight and started going to CrossFit and running, The problem is after I was so hungry I would eat and overeat. Now I have been walking everymorning about 6-7 miles and I'm doing greater distance and my hunger is non existence.

I walk/run for 3 miles 5 days a week. With OMAD, I’ve lost 50 lbs in 5 months.

I love walking. it doesn't hurt my body. I've lost 12kg by just walking 30 mins in the morning and 30 mins in the afternoon with a low carb diet and intermittent fasting about 14-18 hrs everyday. just two meals per day. my snack is only black coffee without sugar.

It's not easy to give up running because I'm so used to feeling that amazing energy and bigger lungs so to speak after a really good run, but with age and strength level plus this video is really helping me realize that this could be a great continuation for keeping fit and healthy

I'm the reverse. Walking twice a day trying to reach more steps each day tracked by my fitbit and lost nothing. Got back to running and vary speeds and distances and have noticed a significant decrease in fat over the past 5 weeks.

This is one of the best docs I have seen in 57yrs of my life. Very clear and easy to understand him and we get to know our body and its condition so much better!

I'll be 70 soon, and my last two runs were 9 miles each, taking about 1.5 hours per run. (yes, there are aches and pains, and I said "I can't run", like everyone else initially) There are 140,000 MILES of microvasculature in the body which clog up and die off as we age, but benefit enormously from rigorous exercise like running--it actually regrows them and reverses aging. This is not to be confused with Dr Eckberg's point, which is about fat burning. Running doesn't do much of anything for weight loss. For that, intermittent fasting combined with limiting carbs works miracles, and is easy. This video answers age old questions that fill in a lot of blanks. But It is important to understand that running is extremely beneficial. I see heavy people walking and think that they could walk to the moon and back, and should be concentrating on quality food and intermittent fasting instead for much more immediate results. Most of them quit in frustration before seeing any results.

I walk seven miles almost daily and I use my food diet of OMAD (one meal a day). I walk in the early morning and eat at 6 pm. I am 62. It works well. 👍😇👍

I think it totally depends on your body. For some ppl walking works while for others running, for some the meal. An active lifestyle, enough sleep and proper meals with nutritions should help.
