If I was conducting a consult with a potential new client who currently spent hours per day in the gym to get lean and buffed, my question would be why? This is a perfect example of the "more is better" thinking when it comes to workouts and no wonder burn-out is happening. Over-use of joints and even muscle breakdown can occur when the body is over-trained. Over-training syndrome is actually a thing and breaks down our immunities, prevents muscle growth, and puts unwanted stress on our body. Also, a cycle of exercise addiction may also be at play for those who are caught up in guilt for eating a certain way and psychologically beating themselves up in the gym.
Food is our medicine and fuel. The "more is better" mindset rears it's ugly head here as well with people over-juicing to the point of death and permanent kidney damage. This is no joke and if you have not read my current article on "Juicing Can Be Deadly", take a few minutes for a jaw-dropping read. Eating healthy is important and essential for a healthy body but when it is taken to extreme is when problems can happen. Eating too much protein can have negative health effects and put our body into ketosis which means the body does not have sufficient access to its main fuel source, glucose. This can also swing the other direction where too much food is eliminated from daily intake leading to illness due to nutrients the body is lacking. Take a look at my article on "Orthorexia" and learn about clean eating gone wrong. DIY fitness diets can pose a problem because of the "more is better" being applied in so many wrong directions and beautiful bodies end up over-supplemented and under-nourished. I put together a recent article on "Self-Made Fitness Diets Can Come with Health Risks" and advisable to check out to ensure you are eating right for your fitness goals.
