We do need to walk more but it's a crappy way to lose weight. You have to put a huge number of miles in to lose a significant amount. Tracking your eating and eating less calories is the only winner really.

Put it this way: Don't eat a 250 cal chocolate bar or take a 60 minute walk? Same impact.

Incidentally I have walked 103 miles in the last 24 days...

Maybe a crappy way if you are obese.

But AFAIK over years walking will strongly help maintain a good weight and keep you healthy. It certainly does help reduce weight and improve fitness compared to just potatoing. You can do more, but as a minimum starting point it is pretty bloody good.

One observation: people are generally not obese in central London and part of the reason is the few km walking per day to get to and from work via the tube.
