If Your Belly Is Growing, Take A Look At Your Quality Of Sleep
by Hope, Frances
A healthy weight loss diet will consider many factors in addition to the foods that you consume. For example, you want to be sure to get enough sleep in order to prevent weight gain. the typical six hours of sleep per night will actually cause your metabolism to decrease, and it will increase food cravings according to recent studies. If you get even less sleep, say four hours per night, you will increase your chance of obesity to 70%.
Why does a lack of sleep cause weight gain? when you don't get enough sleep, your body will become mores stressed. The stress leads to increased insulin and cortisol levels which cause your body to enter a fat storage mode.
The good news is you can improve the quality and quantity of your sleep by making a few simple changes. Here are some quick tips:
- Never watch TV right before you fall asleep, because it actually alters your brain chemicals that cause poor sleep patterns
- Be sure you are comfortable in bed; you'll also want the room to be as dark and cool as possible
- Skip the late evening snacks, in fact it's best to stop eating at least three hours before bed time
- Avoid caffeinated drinks, especially in the afternoon and evening; drink herbal tea instead
- Hop into the hot tub before going to bed!
*Listen to my evening visualization CD as you are going to sleep at night. It is designed to put you in a deep state of sleep.
Be sure that you don't have sleep apnea because it will sabotage your weight loss efforts. If you are more than 100 pounds over weight, or you snore or breathe heavy during sleep, then ask your doctor about getting tested. We hope these quick weight loss tips are of assistance, and will help you in your weight management goals.
