Does tai chi walking work for weight loss?

I'm trying to get into some form of exercise to lose weight, and I prefer something gentle. Does Tai Chi walking work for weight loss, or is it primarily for balance and relaxation?

Tai Chi walking is excellent for steady movement, but remember that weight loss is primarily decided in the kitchen. Make sure you are eating high-protein vegetarian food like paneer and sprouts alongside this practice.

I do Tai Chi walking mainly so I can earn my Sunday butter chicken guilt-free! It is surprisingly good at burning some calories while being very relaxing.

It looks like you are moving in slow motion like a film scene, but hey, it works! Your legs will feel the burn the next day for sure.

I completely understand how frustrating it is when you want to lose weight but normal exercise feels too overwhelming. Tai Chi walking is very calming and will definitely help you lose weight at your own comfortable pace.

It works as a solid low-intensity recovery workout. If you are in a calorie deficit, the extra movement from Tai Chi walking will definitely help boost your daily fat burn.
