I Lost 30 Pounds While Walking Every Day For 30 Minutes

Mila (@mila.magnani) lost 30 pounds by going on 30-minute walks every day. The TikTok influencer has PCOS and hypothyroidism, which makes it hard for her to do certain exercises. Walking, however, is the perfect low-impact way to burn fat without risking the types of injuries you might get from more intense training. Here's what else Mila has to say about losing weight and getting strong.

Gut Health and Sleep

Mila strongly advocates taking care of your gut health for optimum health, wellness, and happiness. She also stresses the importance of good coping skills and learning to manage stress. "You need more sleep than you think," she says.

Strength Training

Aside from walking, Mila also tried another important low-impact exercise. The influencer recommends weight training as very beneficial for fitness. "The best exercise is the one you can stick to, but if you implement strength training, that is a huge plus," she says.

Improving Hair Health

Mila transformed her hair health and appearance by changing up her diet. This also helped improve her skin. "Incorporating a low-glycemic diet rich in healthy fats helps reduce inflammation, which can contribute to healthier skin and hair follicles, while also stabilizing blood sugar levels to promote hormone balance, alleviating issues like acne and hair loss," she captioned a video.

Food As Medicine

Mila says you should not compare your diet to what other people are doing. "The best diet is your own. We all react so differently to foods so do not compare your plate, and treat your food as medicine."

Don't Over Exercise

Mila is warning followers not to fall into the same trap she did with over exercising. "Decrease cardio, increase strength training, and up your energy intake with protein," she suggests. "Go slow in the beginning to make it less scary."

Eat Breakfast

Mila is not someone who skips breakfast: She recommends eating a savory high-protein breakfast rather than something sweet, to avoid snacking and overeating later. This will help with sticking to an overall healthy eating regimen.

Be Patient

Mila is reminding followers change doesn't happen overnight. "Patience is everything," she says. "The slower you go, the more successful and sustainable everything will be. Don't set unrealistic standards."

Walk, Walk, Walk

Walking is what really made a huge difference for Mila. "You can actually feel your sugar doors open, for me I start to sweat and feel a huge rush of happiness and energy—similar to a runner's high," she captioned a video. "A single bout of moderate intensity exercise (walking for 30+ minutes) can increase the glucose uptake by at least 40%."
