If you’re not getting enough sleep and are piling on the pounds, your lack of sleep may be the reason you’re gaining weight.
Denver Weight Loss Examiner: Another sleep and lose weight study reports:
“Dr. Michael Breus, a sleep and medical expert, told Glamour, ‘During deep sleep, your brain secretes a large amount of growth hormone, which tells your body how to break down fat for fuel. Deprive your body of deep sleep, and when extra calories get stored as fat, there isn’t enough growth hormone to break it down. So your body takes a shortcut and packs it away in your butt, thighs, belly — wherever you tend to put on weight.’”
Make a decision today that you’ll go to sleep earlier, so that you get eight full hours. Expect it to take several days to a week before your body adjusts to your new regime.
When it does, you’ll feel great. And your pounds may just melt away because you’re giving your body the opportunity to work the way it’s meant to work.
