No. I eat veggies because I like them and I only eat the ones I like, I actually limit my fruit, I eat whole grains like oatmeal, buckwheat, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole grain bread, tortillas, lots of protein from lean meat like chicken, turkey, beef, tuna, seafood, eggs, deli meats, I consume dairy like cheese, yogurt, milk, ice cream, I cook all of my meals with butter, I eat crepes, pancakes, muffins, pizza, fries/regular potatoes, I eat fats like avocado, nuts, salad dressings etc. I eat a lot of different stuff. Eating only fruit and veggies isn’t healthy. You need a balanced diet. And if you find it hard to create a balanced diet you’re either eating the wrong foods or you’re simply not eating enough (restricting your calorie intake too much).

The fat gets broken down into a series of metabolic processes for energy so your fat cells shrink, then your body expels the bi-products (exhale carbon dioxide, sweat/pee out water). 

You can read more about it here.

Why wouldn’t it be? What makes you think it isn’t enough?

All the exercise in the world is worthless if you don’t have the proper diet.

I don’t know your stats. But right off the bat I’m going to assume you’re not eating enough/eating the wrong types of food. (1400 calories in junk will not leave you satiated like 1400 calories in healthy food). So that’s probably why you’re binging because your body isn’t getting the nutrients that it needs. The next time you feel a binge coming on, you need to stop yourself (whether it’s because you’re hungry or because you’re emotional). Then opt for a balanced meal instead. And I personally would never have time to exercise for 3hours straight every day. I burn 500 calories in about half an hour. No, there’s nothing wrong with walking 3 hours a day. But if you want faster and better results I suggest you up your intensity level and shorten the duration. But aiming to burn 500 calories per workout is great! That’s how I create my deficit. :) Hope this helps.

I have! That’s pretty much the first thing that changes tbh. If I flip through pictures from my highest weight to recent pictures, there’s definitely a significant difference. Oh man, I think once I reach my next GW I’ll post facial progress pictures. :))

In intervals, meaning try jogging/running for as long as you can sustain it. Then walk to catch your breath, then jog again as long as you can sustain it. Overtime you will improve to the point where you can jog/run non-stop without having to take breaks to walk. Walking uphill is great, it forces you to work harder in order to maintain your stability. Essentially it works almost all your main muscle (core, abs, back to maintain stability, legs, and arms if you’re swinging them side to side. I don’t know the specifics off the top of my head (and am crunched for time right now). So feel free to google the areas it targets. 

Agree 100% :)) 

I can’t really make any assumptions based off of that little bit of information. But generally speaking, any exercise is better than none. I think if you can sustain a powerwalk for an hour that you should try to take it to the next level and slowly incorporate jogging intervals (unless you have some kind of knee/joint condition preventing you from doing so/I’m not a doctor so consult with your physician before starting a new exercise regime).

Only way you or anyone will improve is by challenging yourselves. :)

For argument’s sake, you can achieve the same results without weight training your legs. The muscle you build doing squats and lunges doesn’t replace the fat that’s there. The fat becomes depleted evenly throughout your body as your body uses energy. Building and training additional muscle mass will indeed burn more calories than if you had less muscle mass (thus speeding up weight loss/body fat loss). But just because you train your legs doesn’t mean excess amounts of body fat is going to get burned from that area. Building 1lb of trained muscle in your legs would theoretically burn the same amount of calories as building 1lb of trained muscle in your abs, back, and arms for example. Assuming that the muscle is trained at an equivalent ratio. Hence the same rate of body fat would be burned off the body regardless of where the additional muscle mass was increased.
