Can I lose weight if my only exercise is walking? Answer From Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D. You might be able to lose weight that way, depending on how long and how intensely you walk and what your diet's like. A combination of physical activity and cutting calories seems to help with weight loss more than does exercise alone. Physical activity, such as walking, is important for weight control because it helps you burn calories. If you add 30 minutes of brisk walking to your daily routine, you could burn about 150 more calories a day. Of course, the more you walk and the quicker your pace, the more calories you'll burn. However, balance is important. Overdoing it can increase your risk of soreness, injury and burnout. If you're new to regular exercise, you may need to start out with short walks or walking at a light intensity, and gradually build up to longer walks or more moderate or vigorous intensity. Once you've lost weight, exercise is even more important. It's what helps keep the weight off. In fact, studies show that people who maintain their weight loss over the long term get regular physical activity.

So keep walking, but make sure you also eat a healthy diet.

What causes a shelf belly?

If there is excess skin/fat from pregnancy or postpartum, it may end up hanging over the adhesion creating a shelf-like appearance.

The “C-section shelf,” is described as the pouch or “pooch” of fleshy, sometimes fatty tissue that hangs over the incision. It can be a concern both aesthetically and functionally. Many report feeling self-conscious of the abdomen blousing out over the low-lying bikini line incision. The 5-7 inch low transverse incision was a major aesthetic victory over the archaic 8-10 inch vertical incisions of decades past. The current gold standard low transverse incision is described as “below the bikini line.” While this incision is less invasive, the marketing suggests that cesarean birth evidence is best kept hidden. Such messaging can contribute to already existing feelings of shame and disappointment surrounding cesarean birth.
