In Wuhan City, Hubei Province, a 37-year-old man aimed to lose weight by walking 10,000 steps daily but unexpectedly gained 1 kilogram. Experts point out that weight loss relies not only on exercise but also on controlling diet and considering individual body types. This man gained weight due to a busy work schedule and irregular eating habits. He decided to walk every day and reduce his dinner portion, but ultimately failed to manage his calorie intake effectively, resulting in weight gain instead. Doctors explain that while walking helps burn calories, uncontrolled eating can lead to poor weight loss results.

In Wuhan City, Hubei Province, a man, in order to lose weight, insisted on walking 10,000 steps every day, only to find that not only did his weight not decrease, but it actually increased by 1 kilogram. Experts indicate that individual body conditions, metabolic rates, and daily activity levels vary, so the effectiveness of walking 10,000 steps daily for weight loss can also differ. To effectively lose weight, it is necessary not only to increase exercise but also to pay attention to dietary control, exercise intensity, duration, and personal constitution.

Mr. Li, 37 years old, due to a busy work schedule and frequent social engagements, had irregular eating habits and gained nearly 10 kilograms in half a year. For his health, he decided to lose weight and searched online for various weight loss methods, ultimately choosing to "walk 10,000 steps a day." Mr. Li also set a goal of walking 10,000 steps each day and ate only a small bowl of vegetable noodles at dinner, while also giving up his favorite milk tea. During the two-month weight loss plan, he often felt fatigued after meals and in poor spirits. What puzzled him even more was that his weight increased by 1 kilogram compared to before, so he went to East Lake Hospital in Wuhan for consultation.

After a comprehensive assessment by the deputy chief physician of the endocrinology department, the cause of Mr. Li's weight gain was identified. The physician pointed out that walking, as a low-intensity aerobic exercise, can indeed help burn calories and promote metabolism. However, the key to weight loss lies in consuming fewer calories than are expended. If the caloric intake from daily diet is not properly controlled, simply walking 10,000 steps a day is unlikely to achieve weight loss results.

The physician emphasized that Mr. Li falls into the category of abdominal obesity patients and has insulin resistance, which leads to slower fat metabolism compared to average individuals, making it difficult to burn calories. Furthermore, the daily walking only burns about 200 to 300 calories (equivalent to a bowl of rice), and he often felt hungry after exercising, leading to further caloric surplus. Ultimately, his muscle mass increased by 2 kilograms due to exercise, as muscle density is higher than that of fat, causing his weight to rise instead of fall.
