- 5. Exercise Too Much
As most experts will tell you, a healthy diet and exercise is the winning recipe for weight loss. However, you can have too much of a good thing. If you exercise too much, you are causing your body harm rather than any good.
Aim for half an hour of cardio exercise for five days a week, or vigorous cardio three times per week with a mixture of strength training, as recommended by the American Heart Association.
