In Wuhan City, Hubei Province, a 37-year-old man insisted on walking 10,000 steps every day to lose weight, but unexpectedly gained 1 kilogram. Experts point out that the effects of weight loss vary from person to person; in addition to exercise, dietary control and personal metabolism also impact results. This man became overweight due to irregular eating habits, started walking and controlling his diet, but experienced fatigue and weight gain. Doctors analyzed that his calorie intake was not properly controlled, and he had snacks after exercising, leading to a caloric surplus, ultimately affecting his weight loss results.

A man in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Mainland China, walks 10,000 steps every day to lose weight, but instead of losing weight, he gained 1 kilogram. Experts point out that since everyone's physical condition, metabolism rate, and daily activity levels differ, the weight loss effects of walking 10,000 steps a day can also vary. To effectively lose weight, in addition to increasing physical activity, one must also pay attention to factors such as diet control, exercise intensity, time, personal constitution, and health status.

The report mentions that 37-year-old Mr. Li (a pseudonym), due to a busy work schedule and excessive social engagements, has an irregular diet, leading to a weight gain of nearly 10 kilograms in six months. To improve his health, he decided to lose weight and searched online for various diet methods, ultimately being attracted to the idea of "walking 10,000 steps a day." He set a goal of walking 10,000 steps every day, hoping to achieve weight loss through this method. In addition to walking 10,000 steps, Mr. Li only ate a small bowl of vegetable noodles at night and gave up his beloved milk tea.

During the two months of his weight loss journey, Mr. Li often felt fatigued after meals and his overall mental state was poor. What puzzled him the most was that he had gained 1 kilogram instead of losing weight, so he went to the hospital for a check-up. After a comprehensive evaluation, an associate chief physician in the endocrinology department found the reason for Mr. Li's weight gain rather than loss. The doctor pointed out that while walking, as a low-intensity aerobic exercise, can help with calorie burning and metabolism, the fundamental principle of weight loss is that the calories consumed must be less than the calories burned. If the calories in his daily diet are not controlled, relying solely on walking 10,000 steps a day would be unlikely to yield weight loss results.

The doctor further explained that Mr. Li is classified as abdominal obesity and has insulin resistance, which slows down fat metabolism and makes it difficult to burn excess calories; also, the exercise from walking only burns 200 to 300 calories (equivalent to a bowl of rice) each time, and the hunger he feels after exercising often leads him to overeat, resulting in a caloric surplus. In addition, through exercise, his muscle mass increased by 2 kilograms, and the density of muscle is 1.1 times higher than that of fat, which is a significant factor contributing to his weight gain instead of loss.
