Sleep your way to lower weight…..

Now here’s a study that will make a lot of people happy – it has been clinically proven that if you sleep well, you can lose more weight then if you don’t! Or reversely – if you do not sleep well – you will gain weight, but let’s focus on the positive!

It’s all to do with a couple of hormones, one that helps you feel full and one that makes you feel hungry. The akward thing is that as you get more sleep deprived, the one that makes you feel full is present less in your body – meaning you don’t feel full. And the one that makes you feel hungry increases productioni – meaning you feel hungrier still. On top of that, as you get more tired, you crave high-calorie foods, sugary starchy stuff that usually ends up in all the wrong places on your frame…

So this weekend, I hope you had a good lie-in every day – and then when you felt all refreshed when you woke up – you went and exercised for extra energy. That is definitely a double whammy!
