You should push yourself during exercise only to a point. For many who have never really exercised their threshold is really low. You need to work almost to the point of fatigue. You should feel like you couldn't do much more at your current frequency, intensity, or duration (FIT). Anything less and you're not working to your potential. Anything more and you've probably crossed the anaerobic threshold and aren't burning anything but sugar not fat stores.
As for foods, there is a balance to be had. If you are in any real doubt consult a nutritionist. Reaixe that most low fat/so called healthier foods have generally swapped one bad thing for another. IMHO if you are craving ice cream. Control your portion size and have it. Most times people are not satisfied with all of the low fat blah blah blah because their craving isn't satisfied.
I tried the low fat cookies (oreos) For a while. I found myself eating more of them.
It's more important to eat smart than avoid things altogether. You body needs fat, sugar, protein to function properly. Most really processed foods are way over the top on some areas.
Read the labels of your foods. Look at portion size. Restaurants are killing us with huge meals. Even halfing the order is still more than most need.
