They are trying to lose weight..... trying to be in a catabolic state.... release and use energy..... induce a calorie defecit.... see the drift?
I guess an overweight person could be malnourished in some respects.... but LOL. I wouldn't call them that.
Yes, there has to be some balance between how much exercise is too much. But for a beginner their body will tell them much sooner (lactic acid, out of breath, etc) before they have to start worrying about cortisol levels. Because after all, worrying about suppressing the release of cortisol might lead to more stress and more cortisol! Oh no.
Lets move on.
