Summary

This study aims to see if prescribing a specific number of daily steps based on a person's weight and body fat can help overweight and obese adults lose weight and improve heart health. Researchers will develop a formula to predict weight loss from step counts, then test it in an 8-month walking program. Participants will wear a pedometer and eat normally. The goal is to create a simple, effective way to prescribe physical activity for weight management.
