8.500 Schritte am Tag können Diätetikern dabei helfen, ihr Gewicht zu senken. Interessanterweise war eine Steigerung der täglichen Schritte nicht mit einem stärkeren Gewichtsverlust in der Abnehmphase verbunden.

8,500 steps a day can help dieters keep weight off
Peer-Reviewed Publication
New research being presented at this year’s European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12-15 May) and published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health shows that doing around 8,500 steps a day can help people keep weight off after dieting.
Eighteen randomised controlled trials on the topic were included in the systematic review. Fourteen of these, involving 3,758 individuals (average age of 53 years) with overweight or obesity (average BMI of 31 kg/m2) from countries including the UK, US, Australia and Japan, were included in the meta-analysis.
These trials compared 1,987 patients participating in lifestyle modification (LSM) programmes with 1,771 patients who were either dieting alone or not receiving any treatment (control group).
In contrast, the LSM group increased their step count to 8,454 a day by the end of the weight loss phase. They also lost a significant amount of their body weight (4.39% on average, around 4 kg).
They maintained this higher step count and, at the end of the weight maintenance phase, they were doing 8,241 steps daily. They also kept off most of the weight they had lost (average weight loss at end of trials of 3.28%, around 3 kg).
Further analysis showed that there was a clear link between increasing step count and preventing weight regain. Specifically, it was important to increase step count during the weight loss phase and maintain this increase during the weight maintenance phase. Patients who did so regained less weight.
Interestingly, an increase in daily steps was not associated with greater weight loss in the weight loss phase. The researchers speculate this is because other factors, such as reducing calorie intake, play a greater role here.

Forming a habit and sticking to the routine. Showing that you can actually do it.

I think these studies kind of suggest that it’s that people that keep on exercising are more likely to keep up on their diet.
You cannot outwalk a bad diet and people really overestimate how much they burn and underestimate how much they consume
I lost 8 pounds last year just by fasting from 5:00 pm to 10:00 am daily.
I mean it makes sense, if walking didn’t increase your appetite it would have been an evolutionary disadvantage back when gathering food required a lot of walking.
10,000 steps a day has kept my weight so much more stable. I haven’t really lost weight but I don’t see the same larger fluctuations throughout the year that I used to.
