Before going into the strategic detail of how to lose weight by walking home, let's make a brief introduction on the fundamental concept of "what it means to lose weight".

(fats) stored inside specific tissues, these increase when the kilocalories in the diet exceed - high-calorie regime - and obviously decrease when they are reduced - low-calorie diet, which we will see better in the chapter below.

Therefore, to lose weight it is necessary to set a negative caloric balance, given by the subtraction of the energy consumed from that taken with the diet.

• The energy consumed is given by: basal metabolism, any physical activity (everything that goes beyond lying down and at rest) - including the desirable motor one - diet-induced thermogenesis and EPOC (see dedicated article), and thermoregulation ( a small part).
• The energy consumed is, of course, the set of calories obtained from food and drink.
