Why Walking Alone May Not Lead to Weight Loss

Walking can be an effective weight loss strategy, but several factors may hinder progress. According to sports and conditioning coach Andy Vincent, reasons for not losing weight despite regular walking include gaining muscle, walking too much too soon, insufficient protein intake, alcohol consumption, and low-intensity walks. Other factors include not maintaining a routine long enough, not being in a calorie deficit, inadequate sleep, and doing high-intensity workouts too late in the day. Adjusting these aspects can help improve weight loss outcomes.
