Fair point, but if your wife lost 10 lbs in 10 days, it wasn't from the walking.
The walking would have contributed, but some quick Googling to check my intuition states 3,500calories/lb and 100calories/mile running. Call it 200/mile. That's 175 miles of walking and without eating anything for 10 days.
Probably >90% of this weight loss was due to normal fluctuations in bowel movements, fluids, and scale errors.
- kabouseng 9y agoThe 3500 calories / lb theory has no scientific basis. [1] It is much more complex than that. http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2014/06/the-calorie-theory-prove-it-or-lose-it/ http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2014/06/the-calorie-theory-prove-...
- nradov 9y agoThis is just quibbling. The exact number may vary a little from person to person but it's in the right ballpark.
