Does Couch to 5K work for weight loss?

Couch to 5K is a running program to get you in shape to run a 5K race. It's not a weight loss program. The exercise will help you burn calories but you need to combine with a healthy eating plan if you aim to lose weight. Swop sugary and high fat food for lean protein, whole grains, fruit and vegetables.

Is Couch to 5K bad for you?

Newbies often develop injuries like shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, IT band syndrome and plantar fasciitis. The Couch to 5K program increases the time or distance run with each week. While it does say to repeat weeks if needed and to progress when you feel ready, I think there should be mandatory repeated weeks.
