Yes, walking is a great form of exercise that is accessible, convenient, and free. It is certainly a good choice to burn fat, but not the best.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a red hot area of research in exercise science right now and has been shown in many studies to burn fat better than walking.

I wouldn’t normally comment to a blog but I liked this post therefore I felt compelled to do so. Straying off the subject a bit, what is your opinion concerning walking? It is currently being showcased as the best exercise to burn fat.

I wouldn’t generally post to someone’s blog however I enjoyed this post therefore I felt forced to do so. Going off the subject somewhat, what are your thoughts concerning walking? Which is these days being put forward as the best exercise to burn fat.

It would be interesting to see these studies. Very obese people can become leptin resistant and exogenous leptin has not shown to be beneficial in some. How obese were the subjects and how long had they been obese? Was body fat measured or just body weight?

The binge eating reduction is super!

A 15% body weight loss in 6 mos for a 300 lb person is less than 2 pounds a week. Lifestyle changes can easily result in more fat loss.
With any fat loss program that doesn’t teach people how to cook, eat and live a healthy lifestyle, the tendency to regain the fat is eminent.

Your situation is pretty unique. You have been on anti-rejection medication for 20 years and for most of that time did not gain weight? Since most people after transplant are taking steroids which are perhaps the most powerful fo the weight gain medications, you have done extremely well.

Has anyone tested your thyroid function? That may give some clues to this unexpected and resistant weight gain. Why not check with your doctor and see if the blood tests have been done?

I am very interested in this article as 20 years ago I had a renal transplant and about 2 years ago I began gaining weight and after starting and abiding by the rules of Weight Watchers and then after seeing a weight loss specialist, I could not and continue to be unable to lose weight. I am investigating why I can no longer loss any weight……instead it continues to go up!
