So, I am a 19 y/o F and looking for some basic advice. Long story short, I recently graduated college, and due to the heavy workload I put on about 30 pounds in 2 years (really unhealthy I know). I moved back in with my parents and joined a gym to start working out again. Since then (about 2 months) I have lost 20 pounds (went from 185 to 165) but I am 5’5” and would like to be around 120-140 ideally. My current gym schedule is 6-7 days a week consisting of 15-20 minutes of cardio and 45 of strength training (basic machine circuits focused upper body, core, and lower body). I have heard that doing this can result in burnout, but I honestly feel so excited to go to the gym everyday. I’m worried its effecting my ability to lose weight since I’m going so frequently. is it possible that going too much makes you lose weight less efficiently or harm your body in any way?
Also my diet is at a 300-400 caloric deficit, but I’m looking for the best way to cut unneeded sugar/carbs. Any advice would be appreciated.
TLDR: Working out 7 days a week, is this a bad thing?
