Walking is about 300 cals/hour, and the general guideline is that 3500 calories burned equals one pound. So in theory, about 24 hours of walking would lose you two pounds.
But in reality, it's not as simple as that.
The math above will only work if your eating is pretty much spot on to start with.
Let's say you're overeating with 1000 cals/day.
That's easy enough, it's only about two cupcake's worth of calories.
Now you'd need about 3 hours of walking just to get back to square one for that
day. To create any weight loss, you'd have to keep walking.
So, assuming you manage to get your eating(your calorie allowance) right to start with, walking one hour daily would give you a good chance of losng two pounds in 24 days.
