Not losing weight because of too much cardio?!


Question:

Not losing weight because of too much cardio?

I gave up exercising a few months ago, but it is time to start again. The reason I gave up, was because I was working so hard; consuming 1300-1500 calories a day in healthy food (low sugar, only whole grains, raw veggies and fruits, non animal protein), and was doing 45 minutes of cardio on the exercise bike a day at a fast pace (16 mph). I didn't lose ONE SINGLE POUND! Now, I'm 100 pounds overweight so I should have lost something!
could I have been doing too much exercise...specifically working my cardio too hard??


Answers:

For fat-burning, it is better to do cardio at a slower pace for a longer period of time. Also, make sure to mix up your workout so that your body doesn't get used to it. Try getting a pilates DVD to mix some toning into your workout, or hit the weights at the gym. Don't give up! Good luck!
