Taking part in a pedometer-based walking program can help you lose weight even without a change in your diet, according to a University of Michigan Health System analysis.
This study involved 307 people in total of 9 studies. Of these 73% were women and 27% were men. The lengths of the studies ranged from one month to 1 year, with a median of 4 months.
How many pounds can be lost? About one pound every ten weeks, or five pounds in a year.
The amount of weight loss attributable to pedometer-based walking programs is small but significant, according to scientists.
Pedometer-based walking programs without a dietary intervention component do result in a modest amount of weight loss, the study conclude.
A quicker way to see results, would be to add a dietary program to the walking plan.
The analysis was published in the Annals of Family Medicine.
