My friend had been on intermittent fasting for at least over a year, he had lost a lot of weight (over 35 lbs), even though he is not overweight to start off with. Now he looks very scrawny, not as robust as before. He told me he recently had a 3 days fast and plans on doing it once a month. But he seems to be lack of energy and he sleeps very poorly. Not sure if there's anything connected to this fasting. He is also a vegan and one would think his lipids would be ideal but it's not. Actually his fasting glucose was over 100!

@mayofeb I think when someone is a vegetarian they are in this sort of danger with the sugar because many of them tend to eat too many of the bad carbohydrates. This was what was happening with my daughter and she had put on a lot of weight. After 20 years of being vegetarian she started to eat a little chicken and fish and along with the intermittent fasting she is now at a good weight. Sorry this isn't really about walking although I guess it all helps with the general health which also helps the walking.
