#3. MORE EXERCISE MEANS MORE WEIGHT LOSS
Just like you can overdo it by pouring one too many glasses of whiskey, you can go overboard with exercise. “Too much exercise can stop weight loss … and causes physical stress that can hold back [your weight-loss goals],” Lynn warns. “Over-exercising makes stored fat even more resistant and harder to burn.”
That said, it’s your diet that’s responsible for the bulk of your weight-loss success. “Ninety percent of weight loss is based on diet, with exercise making up the last 10 percent,” she adds. “That’s why eating right is paramount — so you don’t have to live in the gym.”
