@seapen My understanding is that exercise is important for good health, but that the main tool in losing weight is controlling what you eat 👍
I spend almost nothing on beauty products (mainly on cleanser, toner and moisturiser) and the money I save goes on getting the best quality fresh food I can afford including vegetables and berries 👍
In Australia we have a 10% GST tax on goods and services which doesn’t apply to certain basic necessities including certain foods. Not the same as being free but it all helps.

The word for the walking benefits is "aerobic" and weight loss itself is not the primary benefit. What aerobic exercise does is condition the whole body to use oxygen more efficiently. In doing this it strengthens the cardiovascular system, increases blood volume, increases blood delivery to all areas of the body and does so many other beneficial things that you will not see. Don't walk (or run, swim, cycle dance, etc.) for weight loss alone. It can combine wonderfully with a healthy diet to lose weight, tone the body and change fat to lean tissue.
