    Yes maybe ‘notice’ 100lbs gain is a strong word, but you don’t fully realize it until you actually start wheezing doing something you used to consider normal. If your only exercise is walking from the car to your desk job and back you may just chalk it down to being a little out of shape.

    The main issue is that processed foods are very high in calories and low in everything that is good for you and these foods are absolutely everywhere in the US.

    Definitely, that is the main issue. I’m just saying the benefts (even just the weigh-control benefits) of walking are more than the calories spent.

    Walking is a very low intensity exercise that will not burn a lot of calories, but is it’s the only exercise you get it’s a whole lot better than nothing.
