How many steps a day is good for weight loss?

As someone with PCOS, I know it's not just about steps. But walking definitely helps. I try to hit 6k-7k steps daily. Don't push yourself too hard at first; listen to your body and make sure you're also managing your diet and stress.

I totally get it, wanting to know the 'magic number'! While 10,000 steps is often cited, even 7,000-8,000 consistent steps can be effective. The key is to find a number you can actually stick to daily and combine it with healthier eating habits.

Look, hitting 10k steps daily isn't always practical with a busy schedule. Even if you manage 7k-8k steps, combined with portion control and healthy food choices, you'll see results. Consistency over perfection, always.

For weight loss, a goal of 7,000 to 10,000 steps is generally recommended if your doctor approves. It's about consistent movement and elevating your heart rate a bit. Also, don't forget resistance training alongside your walking for better results.
