"REASON #9: You Aren't Getting Enough Rest
Recovery is often one of the most overlooked aspects of a nutrition program. Many people jump head first into their weight loss program and practically beat their body down in the process.
They jump right into strenuous exercise every single day. This, on top of life's daily stresses, is enough to stall your progress in a matter of days or weeks. If you are jumping off the couch and starting a fitness program, you need to give your body a chance to adapt to the new physical stress that's being placed on it.
Start out with the gym and resistance exercise 3 times a week. Once you've got that down for a month, you can start looking at adding a cardio day in there.
After a while, you can add more cardio days. Build yourself up to it and allow enough time to recover. Your muscles are build while you rest, not while you train.
Nutrition, exercise, and recovery are the 3 cornerstones to a successful fitness program.
